FAQ
How much does a truck driver make as an Owner-Operator?
Answer:
Owner-operators at Buchanan earn 68% of gross line haul using company trailers or 75% with their own. Drivers keep 100% of fuel surcharge, tarping, and stop pay. Company-paid cargo and liability insurance, no forced dispatch, and consistent freight across flatbed, dry van, Conestoga, RGN/step deck, and heavy haul routes help maximize earnings for OTR flatbed and long-haul drivers.
