Is It Possible To Be A Company Driver (Not O/O) And Drive/Own Your Very Own Truck?

Not that I know of, and the only reason I could see to do that for is the benefits. The closest thing to being a company driver while owning your own truck is to lease on with said company, although you are still an O/O. I don't think there are any companies that will manage your truck/business for you.

 

At company driver wages, I couldn't see you being able to make your payments and still be able to pay yourself.

Leasing YOUR truck to a company to haul THEIR freight isn't too bad of an idea, depending on the company.

Leasing a truck FROM THEM to haul THEIR freight is where everybody gets in trouble.

 

Who pays to fix the truck when it breaks down under such a scenario?

 

Isn't driving the truck you own for a company known as being an OWNER-OPERATOR? that is kinda a "Duh" question

 

I think, if I read his post right, he wants all the expenses of being an O/O but with company driver pay.

 

I think he wants O/O benefits with the minimal responsibilities of a company driver.

 

Sorry compadre.... that wasn't them, it was you...lol. The posters were just pointing out the obvious. Don't feel bad we all have our 'moments'.

 

Sure most companies offer a lease purchase program. Its your truck you make the payments on it, but they own it and you never will.
