Typical week. Our owner operators gross anywhere from $7,000 to $11,000 a week depending on lanes and how hard they run. Fuel is your purchase and is not included.

What's not on the list

Fuel is your purchase. The Strivie Driver app plans fuel stops for every load and shows the savings, and a fuel card with fleet discounts is available. Maintenance is yours too, since it's your truck; dispatch helps you find a shop and keeps the load covered if you break down.
