Guest: Lewie Pugh, executive vice president, Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA)

Being a truck driver is tough, but becoming a successful owner-operator is even tougher. That’s because so many different skills are required far beyond just safely driving a truck in order to have a thriving small business trucking operation. But where can you pick up the knowledge so you can beat the odds of failing?

Listen to this ā€œEyes on the Roadā€ podcast, presented by PrePass, as host Evan Lockridge talks with Lewie Pugh, executive vice-president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association. Not only do they discuss some of the keys needed to become a prosperous owner-operator, they also talk about a three-day seminar OOIDA is hosting for would-be owner-operators, called ā€œTruck to Success.ā€
