FAQ
Questions owner-operators ask
Straight answers about authority, pay, loads and getting started. Hablamos español.
Authority and contract
No. You run under our MC and our insurance.
Yes — a written lease, so there are no surprises. There’s no obligation until you sign, and you can talk to a dispatcher before you sign.
You run under our MC with cargo and liability insurance covered.
Pay and commission
One flat commission of 20%. 80% of every load goes to you. Example: a $3,000 load — $600 commission, $2,400 to you. Example for illustration; actual load rates vary.
Insurance, factoring, ELD, accounting, paperwork and dispatch. No setup, factoring, contract or admin fees.
By ACH as soon as the customer confirms delivery. No 30-day wait.
You deliver and upload the proof of delivery (POD). We invoice and the customer confirms delivery. You get paid by ACH.
That’s our risk, not yours. You still get paid.
Loads and dispatchers

Talk to management directly — we’ll fix it or assign another dispatcher.

Trucks and requirements
Semi / power only, dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck / RGN, hotshot (pickup), car hauler, and dry and reefer box trucks.
Not always. Non-CDL is OK for box trucks and some hotshots.
Own or finance your truck (and trailer); a valid driver’s license — CDL or non-CDL, depending on your truck; a clean driving record; a current DOT medical card; and passing a background and driving-history check.
Getting started
1) Apply — about 2 minutes. 2) Intro call about your lanes, target rate per mile and schedule. 3) Meet your dispatcher. 4) Send your documents; we run a background and driving-history check. 5) We ship your ELD and decals, and your dispatcher finds your first load.
LLC info and W-9, truck and trailer registration, driver’s license (front and back), current insurance papers (if any), and bank details for ACH pay.
