Earlier this summer, thousands of drivers applied for their own trucking authority, but far fewer received approvals as FMCSA worked through challenges with its new system.

While the system has since improved, the bigger challenges of going out on your own haven't changed. Insurance can be expensive, finding consistent freight takes work, and building relationships with brokers doesn't happen overnight.

There's still opportunity for owner-operators looking to get their own authority, but having a solid business plan and understanding your numbers is more important than ever. For some drivers, running under an established carrier may offer more financial stability.

Watch our full session on demand to learn what you should consider before going out on your own. https://www.atbs.com/icb/where-do-you-stand-2026-mid-year-owner-operator-benchmarks

Three numbers every owner-operator should know right now.

1) Maintenance. The average owner-operator spent $14,375 on maintenance last year, about $1,200 a month. A major breakdown with nothing set aside is still the #1 thing that puts trucks out of business.
2) Fuel mileage. The average is 7.3 mpg, and some drivers are getting 9-10. If you're running at 5, price out the difference.
3) Contribution margin. Take what you're paid per mile and subtract your variable costs per mile. With fuel up about $2 a gallon since February, that number has changed. Know it before you book the next load.
