You can if you know what you're doing. A lot of owner operators are good
drivers but poor businessmen.
When my kid brother was an owner / operator he thought he was making
good money untill the truck he had finally finished paying off
required $20,000 of work. Get it fixed and the day after that repair
was paid off, something else went wrong - or he hit a herd of 26
antelope - or got struck by lightning - - -

He finally decided getting paid by the mile or hour and driving
someone else's truck made a lot more cents.
