You Build Your Own Business

You can work with the company that gives you the best benefits.
You Control Your Schedule
One of the benefits of becoming an owner-operator and lease purchaser is that you can have home time when you need it and get hauling time when you need it. You can rely on the company you work with to supply you with loads. This will reduce your downtime between loads and deadheading. Some companies will pay you for all miles driven whether you are loaded or not, just like we do here at Paramount Freight Systems, one of the premiere Owner Operators and Lease Purchasers transportation companies in North America.
You Control Your Fuel Costs
In building any business an adequate profit margin is imperative. Fuel costs are a major cost outlay. As a company driver the company pays the fuel costs, whether you drive efficiently or not. As your own boss your efficient driving means more money in your pocket. Working with a company that pays fuel surcharges means you can pocket even more profit.
You Have Your Own Truck
In regular truck driver jobs, you are in whatever vehicle the company provides you. Owner operator jobs put you in your own truck. Your truck is your home on the road and you can customize it anyway you need to. Some companies, like PFS, will even help you get into your own truck through leasing arrangements with partners.
You Make Your Own Profit
Not only can you control your own fuel costs, you can control every trucking expense in order to maximize your profit margin. When you become an Owner Operators and Lease Purchasers you are paid a per mile rate that takes care of your fuel costs, your maintenance costs, your taxes, and your profit margin.
