“Owner-op business, start to finish” — that could be the motto to describe Overdrive‘s annual coproduction with business services firm ATBS of the Partners in Business manual.
And it was the broader topic of this talk with the great Red Eye Radio host Eric Harley at the Mid-America Trucking Show two months back, on the occasion of the 2023 PIB book’s release (now available for download here).
The talk includes myself and longtime Overdrive contributor and owner-operator coach Gary Buchs, along with PIB collaborator Mike Hosted from ATBS. It originally aired in its full form as part of the Red Eye Radio “Extra Mile” podcast extra series.
Overdrive’s also released a series of short video excerpts of the talk via the YouTube channel and below.

Hopefully it’s an engaging back and forth for some new ideas for the long haul this weekend, this coming week, whatever the case may be. Here’s wishing you a great Memorial Day — take time to honor, to remember. Take a listen:

The 2023 edition of the Overdrive/ATBS owner-operator business book is a whopping 120-plus pages’ worth of information running all the way from the basics of business planning before start-up to going independent, growing a small fleet and prepping adequately for a comfortable retirement.
