What
do you like about the industry?: |
The
profit margin is very small in trucking, but it's challenging,
different and always something to learn. It keeps you adjusting
and adapting to change. |
|
What
do you dislike about the industry?: |
There
are too many watchdogs, especially the one's that are making the
policies. They don't understand the industry. |
|
What
makes you successful as an owner-operator?: |
I
adjust and adapt to changing policies that are imposed on me.
In other words, make it work, no matter what. |
|
Why
are you a member of OOIDA?: |
Those
policy makers need to hear from the people that are doing the
job and OOIDA is the best way to do it. |
