Job Description

Description :

As an Owner-Operator with Echelon Transportation, you’ll partner with a logistics leader specializing in high-value and cold-chain freight. This role is responsible for the safe, timely, and compliant transport of shipments, with a strong focus on maintaining Good Distribution Practice (GDP) standards to protect product integrity. You’ll benefit from mapped / validated trailers, consistent freight, transparent settlements, and access to cost-saving programs—while retaining full control of your business. At Echelon, we treat Owner-Operators as partners, providing the support and respect you need to run profitably and independently.

We’re not just moving freight—we’re building partnerships. At Echelon, Owner-Operators aren’t treated like disposable capacity. We know you’ve invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into your truck, your business, and your career. That’s why we’ve built a model designed to maximize your earnings, minimize your downtime, and respect your independence.

Here’s what makes us different :

  • High-Value Freight = Higher Earnings : We specialize in high-value, time-sensitive, and cold-chain shipments. These lanes pay more because they demand professionalism and reliability. We reward that.
  • Consistency Without the Headaches : No endless chasing of backhauls. Our network provides steady, pre-planned freight so you can stop worrying about your next load.
  • Fast, Transparent Settlement : Weekly pay. No hidden deductions. You’ll know exactly what you earned and why.
  • Support Without Control : We provide the reefer trailer, handle dispatch, billing, and customer management—but you stay in charge of your business.
  • Lower Your Costs, Raise Your Margins : Access to fuel discounts, insurance programs, and maintenance partners that cut your overhead. We’re not here to nickel-and-dime you—we’re here to put more money in your pocket.
  • A Reputation That Works for You : Shippers trust us because we’re selective. That means our name opens doors, and our brand works for you.
  • Professional Respect : We don’t talk down to drivers. You’re a business owner, and we treat you like one. That means clear communication, no BS, and no false promises.

Responsibilities

  • Safely transport freight in Echelon trailer with your own truck per assigned route / lanes.
