Leasing On Owner Operators typically own or lease their trucks and operate independently under lease agreements, managing their schedules and expenses. Truck Drivers usually work for a company, driving company-owned trucks and following employer directives. Both roles require a CDL and involve freight hauling, but leasing on offers more independence and potential profit, while truck driving provides more stability and employer support.
