Yes if your truck is rated under 26,001 lbs GVWR and you haul non-HAZMAT freight, but you still need active USDOT and MC authority to cross state lines commercially, plus an ELD if the truck is 2000+ model year. We won't book you on interstate freight until all three are confirmed.
Expedited hot-shot freight, partial LTL, Sylectus-network loads, and dedicated white-glove routes consistently pay the most — often $2.00–$3.50/mi vs $1.20–$1.80 on general freight. We steer straight-truck operators toward those pools and away from broker-posted general freight.
