Why Drivers Walk Away

Most drivers don’t leave because they want to, they leave when the promises stop matching reality. In an industry where some fleets overpromise, underdeliver, or even change identities instead of fixing real problems (recent investigation), drivers are left dealing with poor communication, unfair deductions, and unsafe conditions.

That’s why more drivers choose stability, transparency, and a company that stands behind its name, something Silchuk has built for over 15 years.

Non-Recourse Weekly Quick Pay

Let Us Take The Risk

You haul the load, but what happens if the customer doesn’t pay? That’s a real risk in this industry. Delays, disputes, or unpaid invoices can affect your cash flow.

With Silchuk, you get paid first, no waiting, no chasing. Once the load is delivered, your pay is secured regardless of what happens on the backend.

See a charge you don’t understand? Question it. We believe in full transparency and make sure everything is clearly explained.

You focus on driving. We handle the risk.

You will need a valid CDL-A driving license, at least 6 months of verifiable driving experience, and a clean driving record with no DUI or serious traffic violations within the last 5 years.
How much do owner operators make per week?
Most owner-operators earn between $5,000 and $8,000+ per week in gross revenue, depending on how hard they run the lanes. With Silchuk, where you keep 90% of the load gross, take-home earnings are significantly higher compared to standard 75–80% carriers.
What kind of support is provided for owner operators?
Silchuk provides 24/7 mechanical and dispatch support, permits and compliance assistance, ELD, PrePass, EZ Pass support, fuel card access, and in-house repair shop support.
How can I apply?
Please call us at 972-525-8095 or email recruiting@silchuk.com. You can also complete the form below, and one of our recruiters will reach out shortly.
Do I need my own truck to become an owner operator?
No. You can bring your own truck or explore Silchuk’s Lease-to-Own options if you want a path into ownership.
What are the main expenses for an owner operator?
Common expenses include fuel, maintenance, and insurance. With Silchuk, truck and maintenance costs stay reasonable thanks to our safety record and buying power. We also step in to support repairs and make sure you’re not overcharged.
Is being an owner operator worth it?
For many drivers, yes. Owner-operators can benefit from higher earning potential, more independence, and greater control over their business, especially when backed by a strong support system like Silchuk.
Do owner operators get to choose their loads?
At Silchuk, there’s no forced dispatch, drivers have full control over the loads they choose. Although once you commit to a load, we expect you to stand by it. No excuses, just professionalism.
Can I become an owner operator with no experience?
To join Silchuk's owner-operator program, you’ll need at least 6 months of OTR experience and a clean driving record.
What is the difference between a company driver and an owner op?
Company Driver: Earns a fixed salary or per-mile rate, with the company handling most expenses and logistics.

Owner-Operator: Runs their own business and earns based on load revenue, taking on both the opportunities and the responsibilities that come with it.

Both paths are rewarding, it really depends on your goals and preferences.
What kind of trucks can I use as an owner operator?
Owner-operators use tractors that meet DOT and company requirements. If you are unsure whether your truck qualifies, Silchuk’s recruiting team can review your equipment details.
How do owner operators find loads?
Loads are secured through our dispatch team and established broker relationships, so drivers don’t have to search for freight on their own. Each driver is assigned a dedicated dispatcher who understands their lanes and preferences from start to finish. Unlike many carriers where dispatchers rotate and lack familiarity with the driver’s history, Silchuk ensures consistency, eliminating the need to repeatedly explain details and enabling faster, more efficient support.
