Leasing-on with a carrier means a trucking business owner is operating their truck under another company's trucking authority. Meanwhile, becoming an owner-operator with your own authority means you have secured trucking authority and are fully independent.
A lease operator is just one position in the field, and it's an important one as this professional is responsible for troubleshooting extraction pipe issues and making sure that an oil or gas well is operating as it should.
A lease is an implied or written agreement specifying the conditions under which a lessor accepts to let out a property to be used by a lessee. The agreement promises the lessee use of the property for an agreed length of time while the owner is assured consistent payment over the agreed period.
Machine operators set-up, operate, and maintain machinery, usually in a manufacturing setting. They are responsible for ensuring the machine produces high quality products, runs smoothly and at capacity, and is properly maintained.
An owner-operator truck driver is someone who owns their own truck driving business. As the sole decision-maker of their independent business, owner-operators have the freedom to choose: What loads they want to haul. Whether they lease or buy a truck.
In this career, you monitor the pump and other equipment to make sure they are operating correctly. Your duties include using meters and instruments to record daily extraction amounts, repairing machinery and troubleshooting when problems arise during production.
