You don't work for the carrier.
You work with us.
We vet the carriers, we put you in an owner-operator spec truck, and we show you the rate-con on every load. When something goes sideways out there, we're the ones on your side of the table.
Three things drivers complain about. Here's exactly what we do about them.
We've heard every version of these from the other side of the desk. So we built the company around fixing them instead of explaining them away.
"The truck is beat and nobody told me."
You show up, and it's a worn-out unit with the wrong gear ratio, no power on the hills, and half the gear missing. You find out on day one, loaded, three states from home.
Owner-operator spec, fully detailed before you sign.
Real horsepower and a gear ratio matched to the freight. Every unit is fully outfitted before a driver ever climbs in. You get the full spec sheet up front: make, model, ratio, mileage, and what's in the cab. No surprises in the yard.
"I have no idea what the load actually paid."
You get a number. You don't get the rate-con. You never find out what came off the top before your percentage was calculated, and asking makes you the problem.
We forward you the rate-con. Every load.
Whatever the carrier sends us, you see. That's the whole policy. We're not here to keep the carrier comfortable. We're here to protect the driver. You can do the math yourself, and we'd rather you did.
"Nobody answers after five o'clock."
Breakdown on a Saturday. Detention running long. A dispatcher who stopped replying two days ago. You're out there solving it alone because that's the only option.
We work around the clock. Not a slogan. A phone number.
You get us directly, not a queue. Nights, weekends, holidays. If you're sitting, we're working on it. No driver on our trucks should ever feel like they've been left out there.
Call us, and we'll put you on the phone with our drivers.
Not a testimonial we wrote. Not a review we picked. The actual people running our trucks right now. You talk to them directly, ask whatever you want, and we're not on the call.
We'll also walk you through real settlement statements and show you exactly how the pay works, line by line, before you commit to anything. If a company won't do that, ask yourself why.

Most drivers pick a carrier off a job board and find out what it's really like in week three. By then the HOS pressure, the equipment that won't pass an inspection, and the roadside violations are already attached to your record, not the company's.
Ricky spent four years as a safety manager, so we read a carrier's profile before we lease to them: CSA scores, out-of-service rates, inspection history, how they actually handle hours of service when a load is running late. If the numbers are bad, we don't lease to them. That's the whole point of coming through us instead of going direct.
We're not starting from a cold list, either. After years in this business we have carriers we've worked with and people we trust on the other end of the phone. In this industry it isn't just what you know. It's who you know, and we've spent years building that.
So if a carrier turns out to be a problem after the fact, we move you. You're not stuck somewhere bad because we signed something.
Spec'd like an owner-operator would spec it.
Because that's who picked them. Ricky has five years behind the wheel and he chose every unit with the person driving it in mind, not the lowest number on the invoice.

Recruiting, dispatch, safety, and the driver's seat. Between us we've worked all four.
Fourteen-plus years across every side of the job a driver deals with. That's not a marketing line. It's the actual reason this company runs the way it does.
I've spent three years as a hiring manager in driver recruiting and two before that on dispatch. I've made the recruiting call and I've been the voice on the other end when a driver was sitting. I've heard the same three complaints over and over, and watched companies decide it was cheaper to keep hearing them than to fix anything.
I know which promises get made in a recruiting call and which ones fall apart in week two. Fortavia is built so I don't have to make those calls anymore.
Ricky has been running freight for over five years and spent four years as a safety manager for a carrier before that. He knows what a bad gear ratio feels like at hour nine on a grade, and he knows what a DOT officer looks for at the scale.
Most drivers meet a safety manager when they're getting written up. Ricky's on the other side of that. He uses what he learned to keep our equipment clean and to read a carrier's safety record before we ever put a driver near it.
