We went from company drivers to running a multi-truck operation — and we built the exact roadmap we wish we had starting out.
Most people trying to break into trucking are drowning in bad information — YouTube rabbit holes, Facebook groups full of opinions, and courses built by people who haven't touched a truck in years.
We're T & Jae. We built Partner Over Profit because we lived this, and we're still in it. If you're ready to stop guessing and start moving, you're in the right place.
Partner Over Profit isn't a content brand. It's a logistics operation that also happens to teach.
T& Jae have been in the logistcs industry for over 15 years — not on the sidelines, but behind the wheel, in the dispatch seat, and managing a profitable fleet. As amarried couple in a business Partnership, they came in and built systems, spreadsheet models, and cash flow frameworks that actually keep a trucking business alive past year two.
We started the BAOO program because we kept watching good drivers get out there, land their authority, and fail — not because they couldn't drive, but because nobody taught them the business side. The margins, the compliance, the broker relationships, the money management. That's the gap we're closing with the Owner Operator program.
We don't teach what we read. We teach what we run.

The Operator
Over 15years in logistics. Started as a company driver and built up to owning and managing a multi-million dollar fleet operation. T knows this industry from the ground up — what it actually takes to keep trucks moving, relationships with brokers, compliance headaches, and how to build a carrier that lasts. He's not teaching from a textbook. He's teaching from his dispatch board.

The Financial Strategist
Jae isn't just the financial brain behind POP — she holds her CDL-A and teams drives with T. Together they've put over 1 million miles on the road. She knows this industry from the seat of a truck and from the books. The financial infrastructure she built — custom bookkeeping systems, cash flow models, rate analysis tools, and spreadsheets designed specifically for trucking — comes from someone who has actually lived the numbers she's tracking. If T keeps the trucks moving, Jae makes sure every mile is worth it.
Together we run Partner Over Profit because we believe the biggest barrier to entry in this industry isn't access to a truck — it's access to real information from people who are still in it.
REAL DRIVER SUCCESS

❞
"I came into POP skeptical. I'd already spent money on a course that left me with a login and no direction. T & Jae were different from day one — real answers, real numbers, no runaround. I had my truck and my own authority within 60 days of joining. That's not a testimonial, that's just what happened."
Marcus K. — Owner Operator, Atlanta, GA

❞
"The carrier board alone was worth it. I didn't realize how much freight was out there until I could actually see it. The CPM breakdown T walked me through changed how I look at every load I accept now. I stopped leaving money on the table."
Elena R. — Independent Carrier, Dallas, TX

❞
"Most people talk around the hard stuff. T & Jae don't. They told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear — and that's exactly why I trusted them enough to make the leap. Best investment I've made in my career."
Devon L. — Former Company Driver, Chicago, IL
HAVE QUESTIONS?
Six core areas: owner operator fundamentals, authority setup and compliance, finding and securing freight, financial management for carriers, scaling your operation, and the long-term business side of trucking. This isn't a survey program. Each module has tools you actually use.
No. Plenty of people come through POP before they've made a single equipment decision. We'll help you figure out if leasing vs. owning makes sense for your situation and what you should actually be looking for.
The full Become a Owner Operator (BAOO) program, all the financial tools and templates, access to our carrier board with real freight opportunities, and membership in the POP Private Academy — our mentorship program with active operators and industry professionals.
BAOO is a live weekly program taught by T & Jae — not pre-recorded content you watch alone. Replays drop within 24 hours for every session, so you can catch up on your schedule. Most people move through the material in a few weeks, but there's no hard deadline. The tools and Private Academy access are ongoing.
BAOO is built around the owner operator path, but the financial and business frameworks apply to anyone building a carrier operation, whether you're planning one truck or ten.
We're still running. T is still managing freight. Jae is still doing the books. The information isn't frozen in 2019 — it's updated because our business depends on it being current. And you get real access to us, not just pre-recorded videos.
