2023–2027 Cascadia & VNL · automatic
Built around the things drivers actually complain about
Old trucks, silent dispatchers, and pay that changes every week. We fixed those first.
Genuinely new equipment
2023–2027 Freightliner Cascadia 126 and Volvo VNL tractors, fully equipped. No trucks with a million miles on the clock and a check-engine light you learn to ignore.
Pay that shows up on time
Weekly settlements by direct deposit, with a rate you agreed to before you took the truck. Detention, layover and stop pay are spelled out up front, not argued about after.
Dispatch answers at 3 a.m.
Dispatch, safety and fleet managers are staffed around the clock. If you break down at night, you talk to a person, not a voicemail box.
Dry van, no touch
One trailer type, one skill set. Roughly 80% live load and 20% drop & hook. No tarping, no reefer alarms at 2 a.m., no learning a new commodity every week.
Clean authority since 2014
Active and insured for over a decade. Ask a recruiter for proof of authority and insurance before you apply — we’d rather you did.
Three ways to run
Drive our truck, work toward owning one, or bring your own and keep more of the load. You can move between programs as your plans change.
Brokers and partners we run with
Every logo below is a real relationship — freight partners, technology and equipment providers we work with day to day.
Shipper or broker looking for capacity? Talk to our team — dry van capacity across the lower 48.
Pick the seat that fits your plans
Same freight, same dispatch, same equipment. What changes is who owns the truck and how the money splits.

You will not be assigned a worn-out truck
Every tractor in the fleet is a 2023 model year or newer. Automatic transmissions, APUs, inverters, fridges and premium sleepers — the things that decide whether a 34-hour reset is rest or just waiting.

What our drivers say
What drivers tell us about the equipment, the pay, and the people on the other end of the radio.
Marcus Webb
Company Driver · 2 years with us
I came off a fleet where the truck had 900,000 miles on it and something was always broken. Here they handed me a 2024 Cascadia with 40,000. Six months in, the only shop time I’ve had was a scheduled PM.
Angela Ruiz
Lease Purchase · 18 months in, 2025 VNL
What sold me was that the settlement matches what the recruiter told me on the phone. Every deduction is itemised — I can read it in two minutes and know exactly where my money went.
Dave Holloway
Owner Operator · Running with us since 2022
I blew a turbo outside Little Rock at eleven at night. Called dispatch expecting voicemail and got an actual person, who had a shop lined up before I was off the phone.
