Ron began the program in August of 2001 and is one of six owner operators to complete during December 2003. Ron lease purchased a 1998 Freightliner Century Class. This is was his first owner operator opportunity. Ron has been driving since he left the Navy and has been extremely pleased with his choice of career. The easiest part of the program for Ron has been virtually every aspect; he has had no issues with the purchase at all.
He found the only difficulty sprang in the beginning, primarily adjusting to the changes and rolling with the punches, as you do with any brand new program. The most impressive part of the program Ron states was the support and back up he received from Texas Star. Ron goes as far as to say he'd do it all over again!
