Overview

Coast to coast, on our own wheels.

Most freight brokers sell you a truck they don't own, driven by someone they've never met. We run 640 company tractors and 1,900 trailers, and the driver on your load is on our payroll.

FTL gives you the whole trailer — loaded at your dock, sealed, and not opened again until delivery. One driver, no transfers, no terminal handling. LTL puts your pallets on a shared trailer so you pay for the space you use, moving through our own cross-dock network rather than a stranger's.

Regional lanes run out of nine distribution centers, and our final-mile fleet handles residential and lift-gate delivery where a 53-foot trailer simply can't go. Cross-border runs into Canada and Mexico clear through our in-house brokerage, so the truck doesn't sit at the bridge waiting on a third party.

What's included

Six things that come standard.

Not a premium tier, not an add-on line on the invoice. Every truckload gets all of it.

Mile01

A fleet we maintain

640 company tractors and 1,900 trailers on a quarterly inspection cycle, with an average unit age under five years. Fewer roadside breakdowns means fewer calls explaining a delay.

Mile02

Live GPS tracking

Every tractor reports position continuously, so your tracking page shows where the truck actually is — not the last terminal scan. ETA updates automatically when traffic or weather moves it.

Mile03

Scheduling that flexes

Two-hour delivery windows, night and weekend collection, and standing weekly lanes for recurring freight. Appointment changes go through your coordinator, not a ticket queue.

Mile04

All-risk cargo insurance

Standard carrier liability pays pennies on the pound. We write all-risk coverage up to $250,000 per shipment, quoted upfront and settled in-house within 15 business days.

Mile05

Company drivers

On our payroll, not contracted per load. Average tenure across the fleet is nine years, and a zero-tolerance hours-of-service policy keeps our CSA score in the top decile for carriers our size.

Mile06

Cross-border cleared

Canada and Mexico runs clear through our own brokerage with paperwork filed before the truck reaches the crossing — so it doesn't sit at the bridge waiting on somebody else's fax.

The route

Booking to doorstep, in four moves.

What happens after you send the details — and who owns each leg of it.

Mile01

Booking

Send weight, dimensions, pickup zip and destination zip. We price FTL and LTL together with every accessorial included, and book the equipment the moment you approve.

Mile02

Dispatch

A named driver and unit are assigned, and you get both. The truck arrives inside your booked window and the freight is scanned onto the manifest at the dock.

Driver assigned by name
Mile03

In transit

GPS reports position continuously and the ETA recalculates against traffic and weather. If it slips more than an hour, your coordinator calls before you notice.

Live position, live ETA
Mile04

Delivery

Delivered inside the appointment window, unloaded to your dock requirement, and signed for. Proof of delivery with signature and timestamp hits your inbox the same day.

POD emailed same day
Use cases

Three jobs the road does best.

Trucking is the only mode that touches both ends of every other one. These are the three where it's the whole answer.

Box truck making a final-mile delivery on a city street Case01

Local & final mile

Regional runs out of our nine distribution centers, plus residential and lift-gate delivery in a 26-foot straight truck where a 53-foot trailer can't physically turn.

  • Residential and lift-gate delivery
  • Two-hour appointment windows
  • Inside delivery and debris removal
Freight trucks queued at a North American border crossing Case02

Cross-border

Runs into Canada and Mexico with customs paperwork filed by our own brokers before the truck reaches the crossing, so it clears instead of queuing behind a missing document.

  • Laredo, El Paso, Detroit and Buffalo
  • In-house customs entry filing
  • Bonded carrier authority
  • C-TPAT compliant lanes
Heavy machinery secured and strapped to a flatbed trailer Case03

Specialized & flatbed

Freight that won't go in a box — loaded from the side or the top, strapped and tarped by drivers who do it every week rather than once a quarter.

  • Steel, pipe and structural sections
  • Construction and agricultural plant
  • Step-deck for over-height loads
  • Permits and escorts arranged
Dispatch log

Land transport questions, answered.

The four dispatch fields most often. Anything else, someone picks up 24 hours a day.

The rough line is six pallets. Below that, LTL is almost always cheaper because you're only paying for the space you occupy. Above it, FTL usually wins even with empty trailer space.

Take FTL earlier than the math suggests if your freight is fragile, high value or on a tight clock. LTL moves through cross-docks and gets handled several times; a full truckload is loaded once, sealed, and opened at delivery. We price both on every quote so you can see the gap.

A single driver covers roughly 500 miles a day once federal hours-of-service limits are respected. Los Angeles to New York is about 2,800 miles, so five to six days solo.

Team drivers cut that to two or three days by running in shifts, which is what we put on expedited bookings. LTL takes longer than either because the freight routes through cross-docks — typically 4–7 days coast to coast.

Detention applies when a driver waits at your dock beyond the free loading time. Accessorials cover the extras — lift gate, inside delivery, residential access, limited access sites, reconsignment and layover.

Every one of them appears on your original quote with its rate, so nothing new shows up on the invoice. If a wait is caused by our scheduling, we don't charge for it.

The large majority of our freight moves on our own trucks with our own drivers. Where a lane falls outside our network or our fleet is committed, we use a vetted partner carrier — and we tell you that at quote stage rather than after the fact.

Partner carriers carry minimum $1M auto liability and $100,000 cargo cover, hold a satisfactory FMCSA rating, and are scored quarterly on the same on-time metric as our own drivers. Either way the booking stays on our reference number and your coordinator answers for it.
