Happy Friday Everyone!

Does anyone own/operate a trucking company or have industry experience? 

Specifically:
1) Tradeoffs of owner/operator vs in house assets 
2) Tradeoffs of auto, flatbed/oversize, trailer, reefer, etc.
3) Fuel, labor, safety, maint pain points and risk mitigation
4) Growth opportunities
5) Future/disruption: Uber, Convoy's demise, electric, autonomous, etc. 

Please DM if you can share insights.

Hey ^Searchfunder member‌ my brother owns and operates a flat-bed trucking company. Send me a dm, and I would be happy to connect you two.
