Class 1 Owner Operator – USA Open Board
Most Owner Operator postings promise big numbers and bury the details in fine print. This one doesn't need to. You're looking at $1.24 per mile on every loaded, empty, or bobtail mile, translating into $250,000 to $255,000 a year for the right driver, with additional pay and additional fuel subsidy if you're running tri-axle equipment, plus paid assessorial pay on top. Add in zero cost licensing and insurance, and a fuel subsidy program specifically designed to protect your bottom line, and this becomes one of the more straightforward, transparent pay structures on the open board right now.
This is a Class 1 Owner Operator seat running CAN/US open board freight out of an established terminal in the Aberfoyle, Ontario area, with a growing, dynamic fleet behind you.
Why This Opportunity Is Different
Most open board seats hand you a per-mile rate and leave you to figure out the rest. This one backs that rate with a full support structure: cross-border licensing, tolls, and pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses are covered 100 percent, and licensing and insurance cost you nothing to maintain. You're not just getting a truck and a rate — you're getting bi-weekly direct deposit, extended dental and health coverage, ongoing training and development, and a company that invests in company events and on-site parking because it wants Owner Operators to stick around, not cycle through.
