What does mean by independent contractor or independent owner operator and how it is different from owner operator in trucking business?
Here's your answer. There's 3 different categories of drivers. 1. Company driver. This is a driver that is hired by a company to drive a company owned truck. This type of driver must do the loads that is given to him/her. The driver only has to pay for food and personal expenses. The company pays for fuel and all expenses and costs of the truck . Including fuel, tires, etc. 2. Independent Contractor/ Owner Operator. This is a driver that owns his/ her truck. The owner of the truck pays for all expenses, personal and truck expenses. The owner must pay for fuel and tires as well. The company the owner "leases" onto helps find loads for the driver/owner. Although the owner can refuse loads, he/she can only pull loads for the company that the owner leases to. The company has rules that the owner must comply with but mostly the owner of the truck is his/her own boss. A lot of owners of trucks are owner operators and most lease onto a company. It makes things easier, but still you are not totally a independent owner. You still, basically, are a company employee. Your paid more than a company driver, but you have more responsibilities and expenses. 3. Independent Owner Operator. This is a person that owns from one to several hundred trucks, even thousands.

In 1976, leased on with Bekins Van Lines, I grossed just over $120,000. In today's rate, (1=3.80)that would be about $460,000. After paying for insurance, taxes, fuel and maintenance and a $600 truck payment, I netted around 31,000 bucks. And the rent and groceries and other personal expenses came out of that. With a wife and five kids, it didn't go very far.
