I've been working as an Amazon driver for over 2 years, and I keep seeing listings for Owner Operators and independent contractors. I've tried doing some research, and apparently there are a bunch of YouTubers documenting their "Cargo Van business" etc.
Focusing local, not going for OTR contracts, can this be as simple as getting a van, getting insured, and getting some contracts? Nothing is that simple. Can't even afford a van or the insurance right now, I'm just wondering if creating a business out of it is necessary (LLC, EIN).
I'm definitely not expecting $4,000 a week or whatever these YouTube people are saying, just trying to get away from Amazon and looking for some real insight before I try to borrow a bunch of money...
Located in Houston. Any input is welcome.
