Why Become an Owner-Operator with Texas Shuttle?
Take control of your earnings and schedule as an independent owner-operator providing reliable 24/7 door-to-door airport transportation. Use your own approved vehicle(s) and build a thriving business with our established customer base and app-based system. Enjoy higher pay, complete autonomy in trip selection, and the freedom to hire your own drivers (all must be airport-approved). This is ideal for entrepreneurs, retirees, or experienced drivers seeking stability without the hassles of sales, advertising, and dispatch. Our owner-operators benefit from:

• Higher Earnings Potential: 50% revenue share covers your fuel, insurance, tolls, permits, and maintenance—keep more of what you earn compared to company drivers.
• No Daily Commute: Operate from wherever you are—no need to pick up/return company vehicles.
• Priority Access: Get first pick of all unassigned trips and self-dispatch for better income stability and selection.
• Vehicle Control: Maintain, fuel, and clean your own vehicle to avoid issues from shared use; choose any qualifying vehicle (sedans, SUVs, vans) as long as it's insured for airport pickups and meets our standards.
• Insurance Independence: Handle your own coverage—no risk of removal from company policy due to accidents or tickets.
• Business Security: All customers and intellectual property remain with us, but you gain excellent income security, stability, and the ability to scale by hiring approved drivers.
• Flexible Lifestyle: Work on your terms, with high tip potential from satisfied passengers (often 1/3 of income).

Responsibilities:

• Safely transport passengers using our app: Self-dispatch trips, assist with luggage (up to 50 lbs), and provide top-notch customer service (open doors, communicate professionally).
• Ensure vehicle maintenance, fueling, and cleanliness to maintain 5-star standards—earn bonuses for great reviews.
• If hiring drivers: Manage your team, ensuring all are approved by the airport and meet our requirements; you're responsible for their performance.
• Adhere to airport rules: Pickups/drop-offs only in designated Prearranged areas; zero tolerance for violations.
• Prioritize safety, timeliness, and client satisfaction—this is a self-managed role where your performance drives success.

Requirements:

• At least 35 years old (for insurance purposes).
• Valid Texas Driver's License (no out-of-state licenses accepted due to airport rules).
• Spotless driving record: No tickets, accidents, or insurance claims in the last 4 years.
• Clean background: No felonies in the last 10 years; no misdemeanors involving drugs or violence (FBI check required for airport clearance).
• Airport approval: Obtain permit/placard via fingerprints/background (1–3 weeks; we assist).
• Own vehicle(s): Must be approved (insured, well-maintained sedans, Navigators/SUVs, or vans); if hiring drivers, all must pass the same checks and be airport-approved.
• Experience preferred: Van, shuttle, or limousine driving; strong customer service skills.
• Availability: Flexible, but weekends, holidays, and evenings boost earnings.
• Physical ability: Lift 50-pound bags; good day/night vision; no impairing medications.
• Non-smoking (cigarettes/marijuana); willing to undergo random drug testing.
• Live within reasonable proximity to DFW Airport, Love Field Airport, IAH Airport, or HOU Airport for efficient operations (relocation if needed).
• Self-motivated with business mindset: Handle your own taxes/expenses as a 1099 contractor. Write off mileage, cell phone, work clothes, etc.

Pay & Benefits:

• Competitive Pay: $1.00 - $4.66 per mile (equivalent to 50% of all trip revenue, higher than our company drivers' 24%) + cash tips from passengers. Do $1,000 in trips everyday, make $500.
• Examples: Based on $40–$45 minimum trips, top owner-operators earn $4,000–$30,000 per vehicle monthly depending on volume and tips. Vans/SUVs often yield higher rates.
• No commuting pay, but full flexibility to maximize profitable runs.
• Perks as Independent Contractor: Tax advantages (deduct fuel, maintenance, insurance, etc.—often no taxes owed); health/dental/vision reimbursement available; deferred compensation plan; employee discounts. No traditional benefits like workers' comp, but unlimited earning potential.
• Support: Access our app for seamless dispatching; resources like airport guides and sample paystubs.
