Pay model
Paid 90% of gross
You see the rate on every load confirmation before you accept it. Hutchinson Enterprises keeps 10% of the gross; 90% is yours. Typical weekly gross for our owner-operators runs $7,000–$14,000, so your 90% is $6,300–$12,600 before deductions. What comes out of your statement: the weekly premium for our liability insurance (set by the insurer for you personally and charged every week, whether you are running, at home or in the shop), fuel only if you fueled on our card, and $250 a week into escrow until it reaches $2,500. Plates, IFTA, tolls and ELD can be fronted and deducted. Every line is itemized. The escrow comes back 30 days after you leave, provided there are no open broker claims or fines and our equipment is returned in good condition.
On a $10,000 gross week that is $9,000 before insurance, fuel and escrow. Rates vary with lanes, season and equipment.

Owner-operator reviews
What leasing on with Hutchinson Enterprises looks like
Composite reviews based on real owner-operator stories. Individual results vary with lanes, season, equipment and performance.
★★★★★
Ran under two other carriers before this. Both advertised a big percentage and both found fees to add after the fact. Here it is 10% to the carrier, period: the rate is on the confirmation before I roll, and the Thursday statement matches it. I pull my own 53' van and they have never once tried to push a rental trailer on me.

Reefer out of the Central Valley and they know the lanes. Produce going east, meat and frozen coming back, so I am not deadheading home. The fuel card was the thing that sold me. I was floating $2,000 a week in fuel on my own card with the last outfit.

Flatbed guy, 2019 Cascadia with a 48' Fontaine. They fronted plates and the ELD so I did not have to write a check to start, and every deduction is on the settlement where I can see it. Escrow builds slow enough that you do not feel it.

Step deck, mostly machinery and building materials. No dedicated lanes but I have not sat more than a day since I signed on, and dispatch answers at 2 a.m. when a receiver moves my appointment. That alone is worth the switch.

Frequently asked questions
Owner-operator FAQ
No. Hutchinson Enterprises works only with owner-operators who own both a sleeper semi truck and a trailer. We do not provide trucks, we do not rent trailers, and we do not offer lease-purchase.
The load's gross revenue is what the shipper or broker pays for the load. Hutchinson Enterprises keeps 10%; you keep 90%. On a $10,000 gross week that is $9,000. The weekly liability premium, fuel bought on our card, and the weekly escrow contribution come out of your share, itemized on the statement.
We add you to our commercial liability policy under our MC. The insurer sets your weekly premium, we pay it to the insurer and deduct the same amount from your statement every week, whether you are running, at home or in the shop. Physical damage coverage for your truck and trailer is your own policy. Fuel is charged only when you fuel on our card. Plates, IFTA, tolls and ELD can be fronted by Hutchinson Enterprises and deducted. Every deduction is listed line by line.
A $2,500 escrow is built gradually at $250 per week until the full amount is reached. It is refunded 30 days after you leave if there are no fines or broker claims and company equipment is returned in good condition.
Yes. We issue fuel cards to leased-on owner-operators. Fuel bought on the card is charged on your weekly statement; if you fuel elsewhere, nothing is charged.
Any type you own and keep road-ready: dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, Conestoga, RGN / lowboy, double drop, tanker, hopper, car hauler. Dispatch builds your lanes around the trailer you pull.
Yes. This is a nationwide OTR position and a day cab does not work for it. Raised roof, mid roof or flat top sleepers all qualify.
You run under Hutchinson Enterprises LLC's MC authority. That means we carry the operating authority and handle the compliance side, and you keep your equipment and your independence.
Every Thursday. Each weekly statement is itemized: gross per load, your share, and every deduction.
No dedicated lanes, but steady freight. Dispatch runs 24/7 and works your preferred regions and home time into the plan.
Most owner-operators go from application to first dispatched load within a week. Apply, read the terms that arrive by email, reply, fill out the questionnaire, and a manager takes it from there: lease paperwork, insurance and plates under our MC, ELD, DOT inspection, and you roll.
No. There is no application fee, and the full lease-on terms are on this site and arrive by email as soon as you apply.
