What

With
a little knowledge, luck, and hard work, a person can still make
a good living for his/her family. |
|
What
do you dislike about the industry?: |
Newcomers
(in all aspects of the industry) who can't figure how to run a profitable
business and, therefore, economically put the squeeze on the rest
of us. |
|
What
makes you successful as an owner-operator?: |
Many
years of hands-on experience and associating with true professionals
like the one's who join OOIDA. |
|
Why
are you a member of OOIDA?: |
Because
it is an independent trucker oriented organization that has consistently,
year after year, hung in there and fought the good fight for us
all. |
|
Anything
else you would like to add?: |
Having
had the pleasure of meeting our board members, I better understand
how the organization can be so diverse in its many endeavors and
remain on course to accomplish the many goals we have set. Everyone
at OOIDA deserves a "pat on the back" for the great job
they do - from the front desk to the boardroom. |
