What is an owner operator team?

Owner Operator Teams are pairs of professional truck drivers who jointly own or lease their own truck and operate it as a business, rather than working as company employees. They are responsible for managing all aspects of their trucking business, including maintenance, scheduling, and finances, while typically driving long-haul routes together to maximize efficiency and earnings. Owner Operator Teams often benefit from higher pay rates due to their ability to cover more miles and deliver freight faster by taking turns driving.
