Hey Guys,

I'm currently an O/O of a straight truck and thinking about purchasing a second and third truck... What are the advantages, disadvantages of buying a tractor vs straight truck to have someone drive for you? I appreciate any and all advice thanks.

It is probably easier to manage a couple of straight trucks vs. tractors but it all depends on how you plan to operate them. I would talk to the carrier that you are leased on with and see what they suggest.

If you are going to run it solo. I say a semi. If you are going to put a team in it. I say a str8 truck.
