  • Strong percentage pay that adds up. Earn 75% of linehaul , plus 100% fuel surcharge , tarping pay, stop pay, and detention pay - so every part of the job is compensated.*
  • Freedom to book the freight that works for you. No forced dispatch. Choose from a variety of flatbed freight lanes and run the loads that make the most sense for your operation.
  • Home time that stays reasonable. Enjoy weekly home time in most areas, giving you the balance to keep earning without staying out endlessly.
