What are some common challenges leasing on owner operators face during the onboarding process with a new carrier?

Leasing On Owner Operators often encounter challenges such as understanding the carrier's specific compliance requirements, adapting to new dispatch systems, and ensuring all necessary documentation (like insurance and permits) is in place. Additionally, adjusting to the carrier's operational expectations and learning their payment structure can take time. Open communication with the carrier's support team and other leased operators can help ease the transition and set expectations for a successful partnership.
