That depends on the application. Some fleets own their trailers - some just move other people's trailers. Companies like UPS, FedEx, and Walmart own their trailers and only move their own freight.


The VAST majority of trucks on the road are owned by fleets. Owner-operators are less than 10% of trucks now.
