The number that matters

$0.75–$0.80 per mile

Every mile pays the same, loaded or empty — so the paycheck does not either. Deadhead included, weekly settlements, and rates agreed in writing before your first dispatch.

The full package

What comes with the keys

Earnings

Driver favorite

$0.75–$0.80 Per Mile, All Miles

Loaded, empty, deadhead — every mile pays the same. Our average drivers take home $2,000–$3,000 a week running 3,000–3,500 miles.

No Escrow, No Hold-Backs

We do not hold a deposit out of your settlements. Nothing to save up for at the start, nothing to chase down when you move on.

Detention, Layover & Stop Pay

Sitting at a dock is still work. You get paid for detention, layovers and extra stops instead of eating them.

Clean Inspection Bonuses

Level 1, 2 and 3 clean inspections pay. Doing it right should be worth something.

$500 Per Referral, Unlimited

Every experienced CDL-A driver you bring aboard pays $500 once they start pulling loads. No cap.

Cash Advances Available

Starting out light? Talk to the office. We have had drivers arrive with nothing and build a cushion within months.

Equipment & Freight

Driver favorite

Fully Equipped, Every Truck

APU, refrigerator, microwave, inverter and a brand-new mattress in every tractor — not just the newest ones.

Peterbilt, Kenworth, Cascadia, Volvo

Peterbilt 579, Kenworth T680, Freightliner Cascadia, Volvo and International. You see photos and choose before you commit.

Governed 70–73 MPH

Not 62. You keep your schedule instead of watching everyone else pass you.

Dry Van, 48 States

Straightforward dry van freight — no tarping, no reefer temperatures, no waiting on a wash-out. We stay out of New York City.

Life on the Road

Driver favorite

Take the Truck Home

Your truck comes home with you on home time. No terminal drop, no swapping into whatever is left when you get back.

Home Time That Fits You

Out three weeks or ten — we build the schedule around your life instead of a policy on a wall.

Pet & Rider Friendly

Bring your dog. Bring a rider, 18 or older. The road is better with company and we would not have it any other way.

Path to Owner-Operator

Walk-away lease and lease-purchase are open once you have run with us a while. We would rather you drive company first and be sure.
