It's time you buy a truck and start your own business as an independent contractor.
From start to finish, Oakley makes it simple to transition from being a company driver to owning your own truck.
As the driver of a company truck, you are responsible for being safe, arriving on time, operating legally, and making sure that the freight has no damages. As the owner of your own truck, you are responsible for all of that, plus maintenance and operational costs.
FINANCING
Do you have the money/credit to buy a truck?
DO YOU HAVE A JOB LINED UP?
Oakley can get you pre-approved and provide you with a letter of intent.
FIND A GOOD DEALERSHIP
Oakley can help you and provide you with a few reputable dealers that they have good relationships with.
HAVE MONEY SAVED
Don’t spend your last dime to buy a truck. You need to make sure you have money for breakdowns.
MONEY MANAGEMENT
Have a good business plan. Keep your trucking business separate from your personal business.
