What Is It Like To Be A Box Truck Owner Operator
Utilizing box trucks as an owner operator opens up many possible streams of revenue. You can achieve this by:
- Partnering with local businesses as a regular cargo hauler.
- Becoming a household mover. The housing market throughout the United States is currently booming, and the demand for household movers is growing exponentially.
Though these avenues for revenue streams offer room for profitability, they aren’t always consistent. Owner Operator Land connects box truck drivers with a network of partners. In turn, this partnership allows for a steady revenue stream. Access to this extensive network enables you to find and choose the partner you’re most comfortable working with. At Owner Operator Land, we don’t use forced dispatch, allowing you to plan your own home time and choose the best routes to run.
Box Truck Owner Operator Salary
Working as a box truck owner operator gives you total control over your salary. By partnering with Owner Operator Land and gaining access to our network of companies, you can choose what cargo you carry—as well as your schedule. Carrier companies we partner with allow their owner operators to decide if and when they work, meaning the profit margins are entirely up to drivers.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that box truck drivers earn from 24,500 to 46,200 annually, amounting to $16 per hour on average. Owner operators typically make even more than this average, as they can choose when they work and what cargo they carry—meaning total control over their profit margins.
