We’ve designed our FLEXTIME Driving Program to fit the lifestyles of older, experienced drivers who want to cycle between periods of work and leisure. FLEXTIME drivers can spend less time on the road during the year and more time with family — on favorite hobbies — finishing special projects — or just relaxing. To put it another way, do whatever YOU want. Drive 3 months or more in one of our Lone Star company trucks. (Leave the bookkeeping and administrative headaches to us.) Then take off up to 6 months.
As part of the FLEXTIME Driving Program, we also offer you the opportunity to sign up for our affordable group insurance plans, including a free health insurance option. (Coverage begins the 1st of the month following 30 days of employment and continues while you’re actively working. Ask for details.) After working a total of 6 months, top off your nest egg through participation in our 401(k) retirement program, too. We offer a generous company match as well as immediate vesting.
Many people who work in the trucking industry hope to one day operate their own business as an owner operators. Owner-operator trucking jobs not only provide greater autonomy and responsibility, but they also may pay much more.
Truck drivers with commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) who have worked for other companies but desire to start their own firm are known as owner operators. They drive their own trucks and may locate their own hauls or operate as independent contractors for larger carriers.
An owner operator manages their firm as a small one and typically serves as the manager, driver, and occasionally the employer. They manage the daily operations of the company and could also contract out their skills. They either operate under their own authority or that of a trucking company, depending on how they have everything set up.
A trucking business's regular staff driver is referred to as a "company driver." They are often paid per mile, don't have to pay for car upkeep, and don't own the vehicle they drive. The benefits package that full-time corporate drivers receive is frequently competitive and includes incentives and health insurance.
Company drivers, as opposed to owner-operators, are exempt from the obligations of business ownership. Owner-operators must manage sourcing cargoes, buying a vehicle, maintenance, and repairs, and administrative tasks while company drivers concentrate on moving products.
While owner-operators trucking jobs in Texas may make more money than company drivers, a sizeable percentage of their compensation is spent managing their firm. They need to make enough money to pay for both their personal and professional costs, including their health insurance. Owner-operators have greater independence at work, but this gain comes at the expense of company ownership hazards.
