    Hi,
    What large non asset based motor carrier do you know of? Can you please list any LARGE motor carriers that you've worked with that accept owner operators.

    Thanks!

    A non asset based carrier would have no trucks with their name on them. That would make them a 3PL or broker.

    Thats not true. It could just be a motor carrier that has O/O leased on to them

    That would be asset light. The term asset is not based on "accounting" terms.

    To clarify, you're looking for a trucking company with no company trucks correct? Landstar and Mercer come to mind

    Lot of conflicting terms. Like FMCSA definition of employee vs IRS definition.

    For a broker to be asset based they have to have carrier authority under the same MC#

    Though they are starting to term asset light brokers, 3PLS's that have a warehouse/crossdock facility.
