In this episode of Sense Per Mile, we chat with with Todd Spencer, President of the Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association, for a candid conversation about the realities facing owner operators and small trucking businesses.

From understanding your costs and pricing freight to navigating freight cycles, building customer relationships and managing the responsibilities that come with your own authority, this conversation goes beyond the idea of simply buying a truck and hitting the road.

Todd also shares perspective from decades in trucking, including his experience as an owner operator and his work advocating for independent truckers.
