This focus is strategic to our sales team and agent base that is focused on providing customer direct freight so we can run low deadhead and ensure the truck is running loaded miles efficiently. The best way to do this is have good customer relationships that keep us off of the load boards. FAQs Where do we run? We run the continental USA, Canada and Mexico.

What kind of experience is needed? We require 1 year minimum verifiable open trailer experience. What does my safety record have to be? No accidents for 12 months and no DUI for 5 years. What do we pay? We pay a % of the line haul of each load. Based on your verifiable experience, we will give you a qualification and your qualification will reflect your starting percentage.
