Weekend Owner Driver information

What is a weekend owner driver?

A Weekend Owner Driver job involves using your own vehicle to complete delivery or transportation tasks on weekends. You are responsible for picking up and delivering goods, parcels, or passengers, depending on the company or service. This role offers flexibility, allowing you to choose your working hours while earning extra income. You must maintain your vehicle, have the necessary licenses and insurance, and meet the company's requirements. It’s ideal for those looking for part-time or supplemental income opportunities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a weekend owner driver?

To thrive as a Weekend Owner Driver, you need a valid driver’s license, a reliable and insured vehicle, strong navigation skills, and good physical stamina. Familiarity with GPS and route optimization apps, as well as experience with electronic proof-of-delivery systems, are often required. Excellent time management, customer service, and problem-solving abilities help you stand out in this position. These skills are critical to ensure timely, efficient deliveries and build trust with clients while managing your schedule independently.

What are the typical challenges weekend owner drivers face on the job?

Weekend Owner Drivers often face challenges such as managing tight delivery schedules, navigating traffic, and handling last-minute changes or requests from clients. Since this role usually involves working independently, you’ll need to stay organized and proactive in resolving any issues that arise during your route. Additionally, balancing the physical demands, such as lifting packages and frequent driving, with providing excellent customer service can be demanding. However, many drivers find the independence and flexible weekend work schedule rewarding, especially when they develop efficient routines and relationships with regular customers.

Job description

New Waverly Transportation (NWT) — a Louisiana-Pacific owned carrier — is leasing on experienced flatbed owner operators who want steady, well-planned freight instead of the spot market rollercoaster.

We pride ourselves on Safety, Service, and Integrity in all we do. Over 50% of our fleet has been with NWT 5+ years, with several drivers past 15 years. When drivers are treated right, they stay.

OWNER OPERATOR COMPENSATION
  • 88% of gross linehaul
  • 100% fuel surcharge paid to you
  • Typical annual gross of $200,000–$250,000+ ($4,500–$5,500 per week gross before fuel surcharge)
  • Weekly pay by ACH direct deposit (two-week hold back, then paid weekly)
  • $1,000 sign-on bonus paid your first week by direct deposit (must stay 6 months or it is deducted from your final settlement)
  • Fuel discount program at all major truck stops
  • IFTA provided — filed and paid at no cost to you
  • No required escrow account; you can set up a maintenance account if you want one
  • Yearly safety bonus, clean inspection bonus, and safety awards
  • Base plate program, trailer lease program (pending availability), and flatbed equipment purchase program
  • ELD, camera, and tablet provided at no cost ($20/week ELD monitoring fee)
  • Group medical, dental, vision, and disability benefits available
FREIGHT & HOME TIME
  • Flatbed freight, primarily building materials
  • Home EVERY weekend, and many drivers get through the house during the week
  • Regional and OTR options available
  • No forced dispatch
  • Year-round, consistent freight volume backed by our Louisiana-Pacific partnership plus an outside customer network
ORIENTATION
  • Online orientation with 5–6 hours on site for inspection, signs, fuel card, and ELD/camera setup
DRIVER QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
  • Must meet all Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for CDL drivers
  • Minimum 25 years of age
  • Two years verifiable tractor/trailer experience, with 10 years of work history on the application and no gaps
  • Three years verifiable DOT drug and alcohol history
  • Minimum 6 months flatbed experience (pipe, steel, lumber, coils, heavy equipment)
  • Must pass a DOT physical (within the last 30 days or a new physical is required by insurance) and a DOT pre-employment drug screen
  • No more than 3 moving violations in the past 36 months, and no more than 1 in the past 12 months; clean PSP with minimal violations (overall record is reviewed and considered)
  • Must have your own truck, 2000 or newer, that passes DOT and NWT inspection — no company trucks and no truck lease programs

People with a criminal record are encouraged to apply.

If you are an experienced owner operator looking for steady miles, strong pay, and a company that treats you like a name and not a truck number, we would love to talk.
