Estimated Gross Settlement Opportunity: $4,900–$10,500+ Per Week
Location: Southeastern United States
Work Location: On the road
Contract Type: Independent Contractor / Lease-On Opportunity
Your Truck. Your Business. A Stronger Operating Opportunity.
Trucking & Hotshot Services, LLC (“THS”) is recruiting experienced CDL-A Owner Operators for lease-on opportunities with a Texas-based motor carrier operating throughout the Southeastern United States.
This opportunity is designed for professional owner-operators seeking more than basic dispatch services. Qualified contractors receive access to freight opportunities, operational coordination, settlement support, compliance assistance, and specialized-load planning.
Opportunities are available for owner-operators hauling:
- Legal-width freight
- Specialized freight
- Permitted over-dimensional freight exceeding 102 inches and up to 16 feet wide
- Regional and over-the-road freight
- Mixed freight based on equipment, qualifications, and customer demand
Over-dimensional experience is welcomed but is not required for every opportunity.
Current Revenue Opportunity
Current operating trucks are generating approximately:
$7,000–$15,000+ in weekly gross truck revenue
Estimated owner-operator gross settlements currently range from approximately:
$4,900–$10,500+ per week
Gross settlement amounts are calculated before the owner-operator’s business expenses, taxes, fuel, maintenance, insurance obligations, tolls, permits, and other applicable deductions or operating costs.
Actual results vary based on:
- Freight availability
- Equipment type
- Operating area
- Customer demand
- Driver availability
- Load acceptance
- Specialized-load qualifications
- Weather and market conditions
- Individual business performance
Weekly revenue, settlements, freight volume, and mileage are not guaranteed.
Operational Support
THS provides recruiting, onboarding, administrative, and operational-support services designed to help qualified owner-operators remain focused on freight movement and business performance.
Support may include:
- Professional dispatch and load planning
- Weekly settlement coordination
- Customer invoicing and billing support
- Compliance and document assistance
- Permit acquisition coordination
- Over-dimensional routing support
- Commercial route planning using Trimble PC*MILER®
- Safety-documentation support
- Dedicated operational assistance
- Fuel-card and fuel-discount program access, where applicable
- Fuel-surcharge administration on qualifying freight
Program terms and availability will be reviewed during qualification and onboarding.

- Successful onboarding
- Completion of all required documentation
- Carrier approval
- Completion and verification of qualifying freight

Home Time
Home time is flexible and coordinated between the owner-operator and the Dispatch Team based on:
