Class A Owner - Operator OTR Driver

$260k - $364k

DSL Express

Job Description

Job Description

Important Update: 08/12/24. For a limited time only. We are offering the first 10 owners a ONE TIME DEAL. 92% linehaul (92/8) with only $200 deduction for cargo and liability insurance. This rate will be locked in for the duration of your time running under our authority. This is first come first serve and we need 10 ASAP candidates. We carry A+ rated AM Best insurance and will run you under our DOT with a great safety score with scale bypasses. We are also offering 30 cent off cash price (usually an extra 5 to 10 cents) discount on fuel. So roughly 35 to 40 cents discount depending. We want this to be the last place you want to work. Everyone is tired of job jumping since 2018.

DSL Express is NOW HIRING OWNER OPERATORS who want to make good money with a great company! Very high percentage take home with load volume even in the worst market conditions – We keep it moving after almost 20 years in business!

Solo Owner Operator Gross Pay:  
  • Expect OTR avg Gross 5K to 8K+ per week during this post covid market. Could be better but we are working.
  • We try to conserve fuel and book shorter runs and avoid long hauls. 2000 to 3000 miles per week.
  • Most average owners on an average week running average loads earn 6k to 7k weekly even in this crappy market.
  • Team drivers make about 1.7 times more gross per peek on average peaking at about 13k per week sometimes. We may or may not consider hiring teams. This market is supporting shorter runs at about 300 to 600 miles or so and is not conducive to team driving.  

Wanted:

  • Owner Operators with 2+ yrs of experience who have reliable trucks! We want good people and will pay good money! We give newer guys a shot because they deserve it, but old-school truckers definitely desired it! 

Regions:

  • Lower 48 with a primary focus is on Midwest, east, southeast, south, southwest, and west regions. 100% Optional High-paying Canadian loads are offered to qualified applicants. EDIT 08/12/24. Some routes have changed. Ask about it. 


Gross Earnings:

  • Normally $260,000 to $364,000 per year up gross. 


Apply here and get approved today!

 
Important Info About Our Work Ethic!: We get lots of applicants – some days, too many. We need “A” stringers! Division 1 players. If you need a decent job, we can help but; we are saying this right now: We don’t want unsafe drivers! We don’t want guys who will sit around and miss stops continually. We don’t want guys who are lazy and sit at truck stops all day. This won't be tolerated!

This job is demanding and as long as you’re a professional, we have a place for you.

Gross Earnings Explained:
We based the "Normal" Solo Driver Gross Earnings estimate on gross of $5000 to $8000+ per week as was consistent in the Q4 2023 all the way to Q4 2024 when this was written. Gross earnings depend on your availability and the number of miles you commit to driving. We normally book loads at an average of 2.30 plus per mile (weekly averages with front and back haul combined). During peak seasons this is higher!. Rates fully depend on freight demand, season, geographic location, and other market conditions affecting spot and dedicated market trends and vary from year to year. In some cases, load rates are MUCH higher but it is not consistent. As with all markets globally, rates go up and down. There are Owners who make less who don’t drive very much. There are Owners who make more who drive continually. This all depends on your commitment as well as market conditions going forward. But if you are a driver that likes to drive, we will put you to work and you will make excellent gross earnings. Our dispatch team is dedicated to getting top dollar year around. After all, we are partners in this. The more you make, the more we make.
