An Owner Operator gets your deliveries from Point A to Point B on time. Although they are an employee of your business, they use their own tractor-trailer rather than a company-owned vehicle. This arrangement eliminates the need for your company to purchase and maintain a fleet or to downsize your existing fleet. While you pay the Owner Operator for the miles they travel, they take responsibility for paying for cleaning, maintenance and repairs, reducing some of the costs associated with your logistics operations. By meeting delivery deadlines and handling your goods with care, Owner Operators ensure customer satisfaction.
