Owner Operators | Drive4ATS

If you’ve been considering an owner-operator trucking job — or maybe dream of being truly independent someday — and don’t know where to start, it can be overwhelming.

What if you branch out on your own and it’s more than you can handle?

Learn what it takes to succeed as an owner-operator truck driver with two great programs from Anderson Trucking Service (ATS).

Take Control as an OTR Owner Operator — Without the Headaches

You’ve always wanted the freedom to select the loads you haul and go home whenever you want. But that freedom comes with the hassle of acquiring your own MC and DOT numbers, handling all the paperwork, obtaining insurance and managing all the other financial burdens that come with running a business.

You can get the best of both worlds with a hybrid owner-operator program from ATS.

As a flatbed or dry van owner-operator truck driver, you can choose from tens of thousands of quality loads from a variety of platforms — which means you can pull the freight you want when you want.

There’s no need to get your own MC and DOT numbers — you’ll operate under ATS’ authority. We’ll handle all of the billing, insurance and other administrative duties on your behalf. You stick to doing what you love: hauling great freight.

As an owner-operator truck driver in the hybrid program, you’ll earn 72 percent of the line haul and accessorials, plus 100 percent of the fuel surcharge.

The Resources You Need to Succeed as an Owner-Operator

Don’t have your own trailer? That’s just fine. Rent one of ours for a flat weekly rate. You’ll get set up with a dedicated driver liaison as your go-to resource for any paperwork you need to submit. Plus, they’ll help answer any questions you may have about safety, maintenance and settlements — or anything else for that matter.

Live the lifestyle you want and enjoy the freedom you’ve been looking for. Contact ATS to learn more about how you can join our hybrid owner-operator fleet today and get the support you need to succeed!
