Two experts on owner-operator business practices will be featured in an Overdrive’s Partners in Business online presentation tonight, Aug. 25, the second in a weeklong series of Overdrive’s GATS Week events.
Kevin Rutherford and Gary Buchs will spend most of an hour-long session answering questions submitted in advance and during the program as it’s streamed live via Overdrive‘s Facebook page. Send your owner-operator business questions, whether about a scenario you’re looking for advice on or a broader question about the trucking business, to Todd Dills via this email link.
Rutherford is a former owner-operator, small-fleet owner and owner-operator accountant. He’s the longtime host of “Trucking Business & Beyond,” a five-day weekly program on Sirius XM, the owner of LetsTruck.com, a former Overdrive columnist and longtime presenter at Partners in Business seminars.
Buchs was named the 2016 Owner-Operator of the Year by the Truckload Carriers Association and Overdrive. A former Landstar contractor, he received many Landstar Star of Quality awards. Buchs’ community involvement earned him the TravelCenters of America Citizen Driver award in 2015.
Now retired as a driver, Buchs is an owner-operator consultant and regular contributor to the Overdrive Extra blog.
The online PIB session will begin at 8 p.m. EST Aug. 25.
