If trucking company owners consider this second option as a way to run their business, they should know that this type of operation gives the drivers more choice and freedom in how they want their businesses to operate.
Subcontracted Drivers
With this option the trucking company owners can run their business using sub-contractors as drivers.
It’s something like with the owner operators. So, you as the business owner will run the business and receive the contracts, but your drivers are not actually employed by your company. With other words you are employing outside drivers, to work on contracts for specific transport jobs.
Some trucking company owners prefer exactly this option for running the business end, and get people to drive their trucks. That is because they can start with less capital and fewer business requirements. This way they cut down on start-up costs, insurance costs, and the required equipment.
