Is it better to be an owner-operator or a company driver?

Answer:
The best choice depends on your goals. Company drivers at Buchanan enjoy stable pay, benefits, and no equipment expenses while hauling dry van, flatbed, Conestoga, RGN/step deck, or heavy haul freight. Owner-operators have higher earning potential but manage fuel, maintenance, and operating costs. Buchanan supports both paths, making it easier for drivers to start in company CDL driver jobs and transition to ownership when ready.
