Overnight Charger Logistics Owner Operators typically own or lease their trucks, operate independently, and handle their own routes, often overnight. Truck Drivers usually work for a company, driving company-owned trucks on scheduled routes, which may include overnight shifts. Both roles require a CDL and involve driving in the logistics industry, but ownership and independence distinguish the owner operator from the company-employed truck driver.
