WHERE & HOW WE RUN
Our Direct Regional Customer Freight originates from our main Hubs in Dayton TN or Neosho MO. If you are seeing this ad, our lanes come through your area! The HUBS and most Customer Warehouses load Drop-n-Hook style and service the Midwest, the Southeast, and the Northeast Regions…there is ABSOLUTELY no NYC, no Islands, no Burroughs, no ports, or any of that East Coast stuff that everyone dreads. Everywhere we send you is a regular customer/receiver of ours that is truck friendly.
You will pickup drop-n-hook style from the HUB or a Customer Warehouse, do live deliveries with our customers/receivers with appointments we schedule, then do a live reload for your backhaul. You are then heading back to the Hub to reload and do it again. You’ll always be going back and forth from a hub, moving our customer freight. No more being at the mercy of the Spot Market!

LANES
Our lanes typically originate and deliver inside one of these 4 zones:
Zone 1 = TN, GA, FL, SC, AL, NC
Zone 2 = MD, PA, NJ, VA, WV
Zone 3 = IL, IN, OH, MI, KY
Zone 4 = AR, MO, NE, KS, OK, NM, TX
The average trip is 541 miles and the norm is 300-700 miles.
Our target is a minimum of 9,000 loaded miles/month (3,000/week and 1 week off).
THINGS TO KNOW
Nearly 50% of our freight is drop/hook on pre-loaded trailers when originating in TN, MO and AR. Many of our deliveries require driver-assist or ‘tailgating’ where the drivers are required to scoot the boxers to the back of the trailer – drivers do NOT unload trailers and the fee for this is ‘baked into’ the linehaul and accessorial rate. Most of the backhauls have zero extra stops and 33% of the customer lanes have 1-2 extra stops, with the exception of MO and AR – they average 9 stops per shipment.
MAINTENANCE
Our maintenance team is available 24/7 for truck and trailer related repairs. We also have an in-house mechanic (Big Box Truck & Trailer Repair) on site at our yard in Dayton, TN and our warehouse in Cleveland, TN for the small and quick repairs: tires, lights, brakes, airlines, etc.
SAEFTY
Safety is a priority here. Our equipment is fully DOT inspected and routinely completed in accordance with the federal requirements. Pre and post-trip inspections are increasingly important here due to the amount of drop/hook freight we operate – you will almost always pull 2+ trailers/week. Many of the rigs operating our authority utilize Samsara ELD’s and forward facing cameras. Our Safety team rewards clean roadside inspections with $250 bonus to drivers and owner ops and $50 for power only
HOMETIME
For Power Only there is no directed Home-time, it’s completely up to you. For everyone else we aim for 2 days/week (or 8 days/month) split however you like. We try our best to take 34 hour restarts at the house over the weekend.
EQUIPMENT
Vehicles operating under our insurance comply with DOT standards. We are currently operating 140 53’ dry-van trailers most being 10 years old or newer with he average age being 2018.
