Dry van is where most CDL-A careers start and where a lot of good ones stay: predictable freight, no-touch loads, and the widest choice of carriers in the country.
Our dry van carriers run regional and 48-state OTR with mostly drop-and-hook freight out of big-box DCs and paper mills. The trucks are typically 2022 and newer automatics with APU or bunk heater, inverter, and fridge. We will tell you the real average weekly mileage of the fleet you are joining — not the number on the billboard.
Reefer pays more than van for a reason: the load is temperature-sensitive, the appointments are tighter, and the driver has to actually watch the box. If you are detail-minded, it is the best rate-per-mile freight a company driver can get.
Our refrigerated carriers run produce out of California, Florida, Texas and the Northwest, and protein out of the Midwest. Expect longer average lengths of haul, more night driving, and real detention pay — we check that the carrier pays detention before we send a driver there.
Flatbed rewards drivers who do not mind working. You secure the load yourself, you tarp when it needs tarping, and you get paid extra for both on top of the highest company-driver CPM in trucking.
Our flatbed and step deck carriers move steel, lumber, roofing, pipe, machinery and construction material, mostly in the Southeast, Midwest and Texas triangle. Securement training is provided if you are coming from van or reefer — several of our carriers have a paid 3 to 5 day flatbed school for experienced CDL-A drivers.
Car hauling pays on a percentage of what the load bills — which means when the auto market is hot, you are not stuck at a fixed cent per mile. It is the highest-earning seat we place drivers into.
We work with open 7 to 10 car stingers and wedges as well as enclosed high-value transporters. Loading and unloading is a skill, and it is paid like one. If you are experienced CDL-A but new to auto transport, several partners pay a training period with a senior hauler before you get your own rig.
Power only is the lowest-friction freight in trucking: you pull preloaded trailers from a drop yard, you never touch the cargo, and you spend far less of your week sitting at a dock.
Our power only carriers pull for large shippers and digital freight networks with pre-loaded trailers staged in drop yards. This is the best fit for drivers who hate live loads and dock waiting, and for owner-operators who want freight without buying a trailer.
A team runs while the other driver sleeps, so a team truck covers in two days what a solo covers in four. Carriers pay a premium for that, and expedited freight pays the highest premium of all.
We place established teams — married couples, partners, friends — and we will also help match a solo driver into a team seat with a carrier that runs a team-matching program. Expedited, high-value and dedicated team lanes typically run coast to coast.
If you are leaving OTR because you are missing everything at home, this is the seat. Local and regional CDL-A work trades top-end mileage pay for a schedule you can plan a life around.
Local and dedicated regional runs in our network include store delivery, dedicated shuttle, yard-to-yard linehaul, intermodal drayage and food service distribution. Most pay hourly with overtime past 40, which means detention and traffic are paid time instead of lost time.
An owner-operator agreement is a contract, not a job — and most of the damage in trucking is done in the fine print. We read it with you before you sign anything.
We place owner-operators with carriers offering 78% to 90% of linehaul, national fuel discounts, plate and permit programs, and no forced dispatch. We will also flag lease-purchase deals that are structured badly. If the escrow, the balloon payment or the maintenance account looks predatory, we will say so out loud.
You do not need a CDL to make a living in freight. Expedited cargo van, sprinter and 26-foot box truck work moves the urgent, high-margin loads that big trucks are too big for.
We place drivers into 26′ box trucks with liftgate, straight trucks, sprinters and cargo vans running expedited and hotshot freight for auto plants, medical suppliers and time-critical shippers. Owners of vans and box trucks can also lease on and keep 65% to 75% of the load.
