How Bruce Oakley Perfected the Owner Operator Model for Bulk Trucking

900 owner-operators. All independent. All running under the same standard. How does one company pull that off? In this video we go inside Bruce Oakley's owner-operator model — the standards they hold, the equipment requirements, the safety program, and the culture that keeps drivers coming back for decades. We sit down with Jeremy (trucking operations), Roger (safety director and former O/O himself), and talk to drivers who have been running under this name for years. One of them had open heart surgery on the road — and Oakley made sure his truck kept moving while he recovered. This is Video 3 in our Bruce Oakley series.
