I myself am trying to start one. Honestly I believe it depends on where you live. I live in Arkansas and they are drilling for oil in this area so dump trucks are in high demand. Owner operators here where I live are getting paid close to $80 per hour to haul dirt for these oil people. I'm looking to see how much funding its gonna take to start. I have been raised around trucks my whole life. Its the first thing I ever drove( not even a car first). I drove my uncle's Peterbilt from Lubbock, TX back home my first day. OTR isn't what I want to do though because there isn't any money in it. In my opinion, you should check around and see what the going rate in your area is and if it feels right go for it. I don't think anybody can make the decision for you. A lot of people have told me that its a bad idea but my uncle doesn't even own his truck, he drives for somebody else and brings in a nice bank so think if you own one. Yea operating costs are going to get you but at $60+/hour you should be able to cover your costs and still keep a good chunk of change to pay other bills or even have money in your pocket. you just have to figure out if its worth it and if it feels right. Like I said I'm trying to research on what it will take to start so if you got anything that may help please let me know. Thanks
