Yeah I ran it , only do the program that pays you dead head also or go percentage. I ran it for 2 weeks just to test it out and it wasn't for me , felt like a company driver with no pre plan . I was expecting to have pre planned loads and put alot of miles on the road . You can make money for sure but be prepared for dead head , the loads are light and most the trailers were newer so that was a plus .

They keep sending us emails thats all i got. They did have a family dollar account out of rome ny. 300 to unload the trailer (rollers) 25 stop off and 2.10 a mile. Cant say I've saw any owner ops doing store deliveries

I was almost ready to test it out myself some time ago but I was somewhat disappointed with their recruiting people promising access to the load board to see what lanes and rates were available...to have a feel for that project but they never did. I wanted to try their percentage program where you pick your own loads.
When I signed all the paperwork ready to give it a shot, they changed their attitude and said they need to take me on their dispatch program first. I refused the change of plan feeling quite swindled.
Also those people from the recruiting office sounded like those factoring or insurance solicitors...a guy there told me that I can average over 2 dollars per mile on all miles which for Power Only would not be bad.
Lately, they were sending e mailes stating that they offer 1.80 c per mile.
I think they are trying to recruit as many people as they can as their turn over rate is just as high as with their drivers. If it was such a good deal, the available places would have filled up long time ago and everyone would just line up to fill out their application.Last edited: Nov 11, 2019

You could lease on here and pick your loads from whoever you want? I have access to new trailers if you need one.

There trailers will eat up your clock because you’ll be on the side of frwy fixing a tire or sitting at a shipper because lights don’t work.
there worthless ELD THEY CHARGE 50.00 a week for will have you headed to a terminal weekly. If you break it it’s 1800.00. I only lasted 40 days. Lots of 40k loads. There load board app SUCKS . Keep lookin -
I joined them just to have access to the load board. The rates aren't great right now, but I can grab a trailer form GA to TX whenever I want, really. Then I can grab an Amazon trailer out of there.
I haven't run under their control for the 7 days yet.
