With this in mind, you are obliged to self-manage.
On the subject of this, self-managing is not bad. On the contrary, it is a trait that few possess.
As a matter of fact, it is one of the traits which makes owner-operators extraordinary.
Additionally, self-management means to have a freedom and will to do what you want regarding the business.
To emphasize, if you are certain about a particular strategy will work, you have the freedom to do it.
For example, if you think class 8 trucks are attracting a large sum of the economy, you can do that.
On the other hand, if you happen to have made an unwanted mistake by disrespecting the FMCSA or SAFER rules, there is not anyone to reproach to you because you are your own boss.
By the same token, self-management allows you to become the strong leader you have always wanted.
