ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Eric Pegram runs DAE Trucking LLC and has lived the exact leap you're weighing. He went from company driver to owner-operator and survived the freight recession and the COVID period with his own equipment, learning the industry, the books, the compliance, and the audits the hard way.
He started teaching because he was tired of watching good drivers held back by fear and the wrong information circulating in the yard. He speaks from the cab, not from a slide deck, and gives it to you straight.
Eric has helped other drivers scale from one truck to three, keep clean records, stay compliant, and pass their audits successfully as the industry rebounds.
Built and grew his own one-truck operation into DAE Trucking LLC.
Survived the freight recession and the COVID period as an owner-operator.
Helped drivers scale from one truck to three trucks.
Coached owners through FMCSA audits with successful, clean results.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm a company driver on the fence because of all the fear and bad info out there. Will this actually prepare me to go out on my own?
That's exactly who this is built for: company drivers held back by fear and misinformation. The Owner-Op Masterclass walks you step by step through launching your authority, buying the right truck, staying compliant, and running a profitable one-truck operation, so you can leave company driving with real confidence instead of guesswork.
I've heard the first FMCSA audit ends businesses. Does this cover compliance and audit readiness?
Yes. Compliance is a core part of the course, including audit preparation and the drug consortium requirements that trip up so many new owner-operators. This comes from someone who has helped drivers handle audits successfully and grow from one truck to three.
Is there a guarantee if it's not for me?
To be straight with you, there is no guarantee included with the course. What you're getting is step-by-step video lessons drawn from real experience surviving the freight recession and the COVID period as an owner-operator, plus a Clarity Call where we can talk through your situation before you commit.
