What is a hopper bottom owner operator?

A Hopper Bottom Owner Operator is an independent truck driver who owns and operates a truck equipped with a hopper bottom trailer. These trailers have a sloped floor and release material through the bottom, making them ideal for transporting bulk commodities like grain, fertilizer, and aggregate. Operators typically work with agricultural or construction industries, hauling loads between farms, processing plants, and distribution centers. Since they own their equipment, they are responsible for maintenance, fuel, and securing contracts or working with freight brokers to find loads.

As a Hopper Bottom Owner Operator, your daily responsibilities include loading and unloading bulk commodities such as grain, fertilizer, or feed at farms, mills, and distribution centers. You’ll inspect your equipment to ensure it meets safety standards, maintain detailed logs, and manage delivery schedules to meet customer deadlines. Regular communication with dispatchers, shippers, and receivers is important for coordinating pickups and drop-offs. Additionally, you are responsible for handling minor truck maintenance and administrative tasks related to your business operations. Staying organized and proactive helps ensure smooth deliveries and repeat business.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a hopper bottom owner operator?

To thrive as a Hopper Bottom Owner Operator, you need a valid CDL, experience with commercial truck operation, knowledge of bulk commodity hauling, and a well-maintained hopper bottom trailer combo. Familiarity with ELD (Electronic Logging Devices), routing/navigation systems, and compliance with DOT regulations is crucial. Strong time management, self-motivation, and customer service skills help you build lasting relationships with shippers and brokers. These abilities ensure safe, efficient, and reliable transportation services that lead to business growth and satisfied clients.

Job description

Being an Owner Operator at Brassica is about Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Mentorship, Craftsmanship, and Relationships.
It's about building your own business and earning half of the bottom line. Owner Operators typically earn between $125k and $325k per year. We will help you get prepared to run your own extraordinary restaurant. Your team. Your guests. Your community. Your Brassica.
...it's about Entrepreneurship
From the big details to the little details, and everything in between, entrepreneurship means caring about it all... plus the ability to problem solve and the mindset to continuously learn and improve. Like successful entrepreneurs, Owner Operators are well rewarded as their business grows and thrives.
...it's about Leadership
Setting the right tone for energy, urgency, patience, and excellence is the essential role of an Owner Operator. Our organization cultivates great leaders who learn how to invest in people's lives, and bring out their best to help them grow personally and professionally. You'll be given the training, tools, and resources to hire good people and build a great team.
...it's about Mentorship
It's your restaurant, but you're not alone. Brassica's Owner Operators are there for each other, and the Operations Support Team is here to help you as well. Your success is our success. You'll have regular check-ins, individualized goal-setting, and the guidance to help you thrive. In turn, you will mentor your team and other leaders to help them be successful.
...it's about Craftsmanship
We take extra care in getting it right, because it's the right thing to do. Our delicious food is prepared from scratch using truly extraordinary ingredients. This philosophy extends to our architecture as well. You will have a restaurant that inspires with its beautiful materials, award-winning art work + design, and outstanding craftsmanship.
...it's about Relationships
Building a great business isn't enough; we want you to build a great life. With great hospitality and delicious food, your restaurant will naturally form a community for your guests and team. You'll build lasting relationships, and create life-long connections.
If you want to be a part of a world class organization, make a positive impact, and do work you can be proud of, apply to the Brassica Owner Operator Training + Development Program.
What you can expect from us:
  • Extensive Training: 20 weeks of comprehensive training to ensure you're well-prepared.

  • Best-in-Class Compensation: Owner Operators with their own restaurant earn half the bottom line, which is typically between $125,000 and $325,000 (protected with a guaranteed minimum weekly income of $1,500). Owner Operators in Training earn between $70,000 - $90,000 per year (for 2-3 years) while learning and preparing to open a Brassica of their own.

What we expect from you:
  • Growth Mindset: Strong motivation for personal and professional growth.
  • Invest in Others: Continuously help those around you to learn, grow, and perform at their best.
