Container Owner Driver

Being an Owner Driver means you are pretty much your own boss. At Recur, you are backed by all the expertise, resources, and support to aid you in running your business.

Since Recur operates 24 hours during business days (Monday to Saturday), Owner Drivers can have their trucks working double shifts to maximise profit.

Without logistics and transport, the national economy would not function. Road is the dominant freight mode here in New Zealand. With the road network responsible for moving around 70% of freight around the country, there is a continuous increase in the number of operators in the sector, particularly in the Auckland region. As globalisation and technology continue to advance, supply chains are becoming longer. This is beneficial to the growth of the logistics and transport industry, as it provides more jobs in the sector to meet the growing demand.

High rate of return on your investments allows you to reach your investment goals even without a large starting capital.

At Recur, Owner Drivers have opportunities to expand their businesses and grow together with us. With the growing demand on logistics and transport services, and the excellent work Recur is doing to provide the best service to the widest range of clients, our Owner Drivers get opportunities to expand their fleet as our volumes continue to grow.

Another benefit of being an Owner Driver at Recur is that we are very flexible when it comes to shift schedules. You can arrange the most convenient schedule for you to carry out business operations. Owner Drivers at Recur are able to have a great work-life balance as Recur aims to be the happiest transport company to work for in the world.

Due to the growing demand in this sector and low startup costs for Owner Drivers, the risk of losing some or all of the investment is very low. By owning your own trucks, you get the benefit of low fixed expenses. You will mostly have variable expenses like fuel. That is, you’ll only be paying the variable expenses when your truck is on the road working.

Recur offers low costs of entry which can make it easier for you to become your own boss. In addition, Recur can provide assistance in applying for finance of the business and equipment.

We offer fuel cards to our Owner Drivers. Fuel cards also come with a discount on pump fuel rates.

By operating a streamlined, well-maintained fleet, we deliver lower running costs, reduced fuel use, and faster turnaround times — all while maintaining the high service standards Recur is known for.

Having the latest technology enables us to achieve our vision faster, provide better customer service, and minimise our carbon footprint. All of our dispatching is done online to your mobile device. This means less physical paperwork for you. Every month we also send you a Buyer Created Tax Invoice (BCTI), which means you won’t have to worry about invoicing.

Passive income is money you get from your Owner Driver business. For example, if you were to come onboard with Recur and hire a driver to work on your truck, the profit you make would be considered passive income.
Earning passive income gives our Owner Drivers an advantage over drivers who are making money by working directly under a company. If you want a healthy and prosperous lifestyle, you shouldn’t rely on making money from a 9-5 job. Instead, our Owner Drivers can set up a passive income system with Recur.
