Flatbed Owner Operators
Below are 4 reasons to lease-on with a carrier.
Join us, we're hiring for government contract work!
Compliance support
Carriers assist with navigating: IFTA, IRP, ELD/HOS, permits, stickers, tolls, lease agreements, legal documents & more.
Enjoy regular assistance, filing deadline reminders, even data on your fuel consumption.
Lower operating costs
Carriers perform the dispatch work & manage all paperwork. Some offer fuel discounts & reduced quickpay fees.
Insurance costs tend to be lower for freight carriers in business for 2+ years.
Consistent work
Many freight carriers have relationships with shippers, warehouses & brokers.
That enables regular lanes and weekly payroll. Carriers can also provide drivers access to load boards.
Flexibility without full independence
Operate more independently by earning a percent of load revenue, while retaining more freedom as a 1099-contractor or your own LLC.
If total independence
is your goal, establish your own LLC & carrier authority.
While waiting the 2 years for insurance costs to drop, operate under another carrier's authority.
