For example, owner-operator truck drivers can calculate the fuel costs per load. If they choose to develop a better fueling strategy by calculating the fuel cost per load then they will have to fill up their ranks with just a few more gallons above the miles that are required to cover the trip that they are going to perform.
Remember that by developing a better fueling strategy you will maintain your cash flow at a minimum.
Load Boards
An owner-operator truck driver can pick up and choose what they want to haul and when they want to haul it. This gives them the freedom to choose load boards as well. Still, on the other hand, finding loads every now and then remains to be one of the greatest challenges.
Moreover, the most common reason why owner-operator truck drivers fail is due to now acquiring shipments on a regular basis. This can even put them out of business.
