The deal

What you bring, what we handle

The point of leasing on is that the sales calls, the billing and the collections stop being your problem. Here is the split.

🚚

You bring

Your truck, your CDL-A and your work ethic. That is it — there is no buy-in, no escrow account and no security deposit to lease on with us.

📦

We bring

Preplanned dry van freight in all 48 states, a dispatcher who answers at 3 AM, the fuel card, the trailer, the billing and the collections. You drive, we chase the paperwork.

Questions

Owner-operator questions

Is there any escrow or deposit to lease on?
No. No escrow account, no security deposit, no buy-in. It is in the lease agreement in writing before you sign — read that section first, we expect you to.
When do I get paid?
Settlements run weekly. NEEDS INPUT: settlement day, and how many days after delivery the paperwork has to be in.
Do you provide the trailer?
We run dry van. NEEDS INPUT: whether the trailer comes at no cost or is rented, and at what weekly rate.
Whose plates and insurance?
NEEDS INPUT: whose authority, plates and IFTA the truck runs under, which coverages we carry, and what is deducted for them.
Is dispatch forced?
NEEDS INPUT: whether an owner-operator can turn a load down, and whether that affects load priority.
What freight do you haul?
General freight, dry food, machinery, equipment, paper products and packaging material across all 48 states. No hazmat.
Do you pay detention?
Yes. $25 per hour after two free hours, up to $150 per day, when the detention procedure is followed.
Can I use your shop?
Yes, we run our own maintenance facility in East Dundee, IL. NEEDS INPUT: labour rate for owner-operator repairs, and whether parts are billed at cost.
