MAKING THE JOURNEY FROM TRUCK DRIVER TO TRUCKER
Working folks come in all types with a wide range of experience, knowledge, talents, and skills. Only a small number of Truck Drivers possess the right stuff to make the journey from Driver to Trucker. It is the same comparison as an employee becoming a business owner. Most employees appreciate the degree of difficulty and complexity that owners endure and choose to make the best of their careers as an employees. However, there are those who have an entrepreneurial spirit that want to do more, to be more, and to get more. This entrepreneurial spirit features the highest levels of personal responsibility and professionalism.
You are reading about this program because you are considering making a change with your career in how you earn a living. The MK Venture L/P Program is the opportunity to use all the knowledge and experience that you have acquired in Truck Driving to become a small business owner. However, there is a substantial increase in responsibility and the risk of financial gain/loss should be weighed carefully. How well do you know yourself? Would this career move be a good fit for you?
For some people, taking on more responsibilities can seem like a heavy lift or as we say in trucking, “a heavy load”! For others, taking on more responsibility is a positive life-changing decision, and can lead to economic independence. At MK, we help with the heavy lifting and put you on the road to success. However, you must be single-mindedly committed or you will end up going down a road that leads to a dead end.

"I am an individual who thrives on challenges and believe if I did not at least give being an owner-operator a shot, I would regret it down the road. Marvin Keller made the transition easier than I ever would have thought possible."
