Not all people want to be an employee and not all truck drivers want to work for someone else. These are the owner-operators, the truck drivers who own their own trucks and work as independent contractors. With this title comes many benefits such as being self-employed. You are your own boss and can set your own rules. Sure there are federally mandated rules you must follow as with all commercial vehicles and there are contracts to follow, but you can do what suits you best. Being an owner-operator also means you have the flexibility to drive the routes you want to drive. You’ll always want to stick to your contracts but you have the choice to take the loads you want to take and have the freedom to take time off when you want to.
