In this Part 2 edition of the Overdrive Radio podcast featuring conversations with Owner-Operator of the Year Glen Horack, the Missouri-based hauler elaborates on themes of preparation broached in Part 1 last week. Asked for his most salient advice for any new or aspiring owner in this day and age, he made reference to the grand cyclical nature of the economy -- and trucking specifically of course. What goes up must come down. The owner-operator, leased with his 2022 Peterbilt 579 to Springfield, Missouri-headquartered Prime Inc., was speaking in June and noted market dynamics then evident that suggested to him the turn was either at hand or right around the corner. Through Prime's driver app, "They send us a message every day ... as to what fuel's going to do at midnight," he said, advance notice of pending price changes for effective foresight for purchase decisions. At that time in June when we talked, he noted diesel had been occasionally going "down for one or two days. Then it'll go up the next five days or so in a row. And it'll go up much quicker than it'll go down." With that he laughed at the end of it, one of those kinds of chuckles you might have to let fly to keep from crying. Get ready, build your cash reserves, however you do it -- and before you get in business, he emphasized for those new to trucking. "Don't try to operate on a shoestring," Horack said. Sooner or later, he added, with a big downturn typical for freight markets about every 10 years, if not more frequently, you're definitely going to need that nest egg. Also in the podcast: Owner-operator Horack today teams with his wife, Karla, whose acumen for cooking on the truck has enabled the pair run a lean operation, not just in the financial sense. Karla's cooking methods and recipes are diverse, yet her in-cab cooking equipment is just a single, quite versatile piece. The Horacks are no doubt looking forward to enjoying some time at home with family and friends next weekend as the 9th Annual Sam Biggs Memorial Bike Show and Poker Run, a benefit to research into childhood cancers, is set for Sept. 10, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. at American Legion Post 639, 2660 S. Scenic Ave. in Springfield, Missouri. Glen is a cofounder of the event, with its brainchild owner-operator Thomas Miller. Miller's a fellow past Owner-Operator of the Year. (The event today, with a subsequent effort in Illinois, is more than just the two owner-operators' baby, though. It's a big-tent effort involving family, friends and the community at large.)

Tim DeWitt is no short-term-minded person, as he says in this week's edition of Overdrive Radio, charting how the small fleet owner's begun to make good on on long-term goals of improving the conditions under which his now more than 30 driver employees operate. And: to continue to achieve solid profitability. He's doing it with his authority as DeWitt Transportation, based in Southern Illinois, and without owning a single trailer. In the podcast, lean more closely into DeWitt's operation, detailed in part in Overdrive's recent three-part feature series covering the wild growth in power-only opportunities for owners with motor carrier authority. You can find that series in full at this link: https://www.overdriveonline.com/business/article/15286059/how-covid-fasttracked-poweronly-opportunity-growth-in-trucking There are many reasons for opportunity growth in that operating segment, where a truck owner runs a carrier business with authority but doesn't bring an owned trailer to the freight arrangement. Growth in demand for large carriers' services and limitations on fleets' growth is one, as he's seen at his principal freight partner, the brokerage side of Prime Inc.'s business. Hauling exclusively there, however, DeWitt's own company's growth has been explosive over the roughly two year's he's been an employer of anyone other than himself. With steady and rising contract-type rates in Prime's system, he's made hay of long-term focus in a very short period of time, going from one to more than 30 trucks and drivers, and climbing. So how is it that he's been able to recruit all those drivers when so many of his large-carrier counterparts sound like they're facing the greatest shortage in history when they talk about the men and women behind the wheel? There's a guaranteed-pay structure involved, but a lot more to it. Here more in the podcast. DeWitt was among Overdrive's 2021 Small Fleet Champ semi-finalists back in the Fall: https://www.overdriveonline.com/small-fleet-champ/article/15279711/how-to-approach-guaranteed-driver-pay-in-a-poweronly-system

In today’s show, we discuss truckers and their taxes in an interview with Mason War, CEO and Co-Founder of COS Accounting & Tax. Lots of good info on 1099 drivers here. But first, we’ve got the obligatory Covid-related news including more extensions and vaccines, the Canadian Electronic log roll-out, lawsuits involving Prime,Inc., sleeper berth pay, and independent contractors, and I’ll tell you when to expect the next safety blitz. The government has been busy too, with pushes for underride guards, speed limiters, mileage-based taxes, and more truck tolls. President Biden wants to fortify the supply chain while the FMCSA warns truck drivers of massive job losses. All while thousands of drivers are being lost to drug testing. Yeah, that makes sense. Thankfully we have listener feedback to cheer us up; from Danny, Taran, Shawn, and of course Stevie.
