Owner Operator Overview

  • Revenue that rewards your business. Owner operators gross an average of $150,000-$300,000 per year, based on the loads you choose, your routes, and load types.*
  • 100% fuel surcharge, straight to you. Mercer passes 100% of the fuel surcharge directly to you, so more of every load stays in your business.
  • Fast pay after every load. Get paid quickly, usually within 24 hours of submitting your paperwork.
  • Home time on your terms. You make your own schedule. Choose when you run and when you're home, and build your business around your life.
  • Run your business your way. Choose how much or how little you run, and pick the freight that fits your goals from Mercer's online load board.
  • No competing with company trucks. Mercer doesn't run company trucks, so you'll never compete with them for freight.

Benefits & Perks

  • Discounts that protect your margins. Save on fuel, tires, insurance, and essential services with exclusive owner operator discounts.
  • Bonuses that add up. Earn bonus credits for safety, revenue, and more. Talk with a recruiter for details.
  • Support that helps you find the right freight. Use an easy online load board backed by personal load coordinators who help you find your preferred freight.
