No. You set your home base, lane preferences, minimum rate per mile, and equipment availability. We negotiate and present loads; you approve or decline before booking.
We pull from DAT and Truckstop load boards, direct broker relationships, shipper contracts, and private freight networks — then negotiate up from the posted rate using lane data and detention/accessorial pricing.
No. Day cabs get regional / short-haul / drayage / drop-and-hook lanes so drivers are home nightly. Sleepers get OTR and long-haul lanes with 34-hour reset planning. Your equipment on file determines which lane pool we source from — we don't force OTR on a day cab or waste a sleeper on short runs.
Every load is booked against your available 11-hour drive, 14-hour on-duty, and 70-hour cycle. We plan reset locations near home or preferred truck stops so you're not stuck resetting at a Walmart in the middle of nowhere. Your dispatcher sees HOS in real time before committing to a load.
