Your Reliable Trucking Partner
One of the top paying Carriers
EM Way pay's Owner Operator’s, 84% of the Gross. With EM Way's percentage pay model, your earnings potential is significantly greater! Transparency in this industry is integral therefore we send all customer rate sheets/contracts as proof of the agreed upon rate.
EM Way gives our Owner Operators the opportunity to make as much or as little as they want to make. We have solo drivers that take home $7,500+ a week after expenses, and operators that take home $1,800 a week after expenses. The revenue that you earn, is all based on where you run, type of freight you haul (van, flat, reefer) and how often you go home. Your company, your choice! You are non-forced dispatch. We want our operators to be successful, but each operators idea of “success” is different from the other.
In 2023 our Top solo operator grossed $290,000!
