FAQ
How much do owner-operators make per year?
Answer:
Owner-operators’ annual earnings vary based on miles run, freight type, and operating costs. At Buchanan Hauling, owner-operators hauling flatbed, Conestoga, RGN/step deck, heavy haul, and select dry van freight often earn more due to strong rates and consistent freight. Owner-operators earn a high percentage of line haul, keep fuel surcharge, tarping, and stop pay, and benefit from no forced dispatch—making Buchanan a strong partner for experienced drivers seeking higher OTR earnings.
