No. You set your home base, preferred lanes, minimum rate per mile, and equipment availability. We negotiate and present loads; you approve or decline every load before booking.
Yes, provided the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is under 26,001 pounds and you do not haul placardable hazardous materials, as defined under 49 CFR § 383.91 (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-III/subchapter-B/part-383/subpart-F/section-383.91). However, to haul commercial freight across state lines, you must still maintain active USDOT and MC operating authority with the FMCSA (https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration), carry an ELD if your truck is model year 2000 or newer, and maintain standard commercial auto liability and cargo insurance.
While Amazon Relay offers middle-mile block freight, rate per mile can fluctuate heavily. Bonafide sources higher-paying expedited freight, Sylectus-network loads, partial LTL, and dedicated freight through private broker boards and direct freight forwarders. These lanes frequently pay substantially higher RPM than public load boards, particularly for carriers with lift gates and pallet jacks.
In commercial freight, 'box truck' and 'straight truck' are largely synonymous terms for non-articulated trucks where the cab and cargo body share a single fixed frame. Typically built in 24-foot and 26-foot lengths with 96-inch or 102-inch interior widths, both handle palletized dry freight, airport cartage, and expedited partials.
A 2,500+ lb capacity hydraulic lift gate and a manual pallet jack expand your eligible load pool by roughly 40% to 50%. Shippers frequently pay an accessorial premium ($50–$150) for lift-gate deliveries to retail stores, schools, residential job sites, or facilities without loading docks.
Because box trucks carry payloads between 6,000 and 10,000 lbs, fuel efficiency and low deadhead are critical. We concentrate your dispatch on dense freight corridors (Midwest, Southeast, Northeast, and Texas triangles) and sequence backhauls before delivery so your truck does not sit empty.
