She started driving in 2019 for fun. By 2021, she had her own authority. Today she runs 60 trucks — all owner-operators — hauling reefer, flatbed, and dry van freight. And one of her drivers just grossed $13,000 in a single week.

In this episode of This Week in Trucking, Daria Kaputsina, Founder and CEO of Mountain Lane Trucking, breaks down how she went from three trucks to 60, why she ditched the company driver model during the freight recession, how her owner-operator pay structure works (88-90% of revenue), real weekly revenue numbers by equipment type, and the trailer rental fraud that cost her money she'll never get back.

📩In our 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿, we break down the hottest freight markets by equipment type, plus interviews with carriers sharing their real cost per mile and PROFITS.  http://www.bobtail.com/newsletter
