Click on the "Carriers" links at their sites.

Call their brokerage dept., you have to look up the numbers yourself.

When you say as a Independent, Do you mean you haul there freight with your own authority?
The short time I was there, I knew a few of the o/o and they were treated the same as the lease drivers. I'm almost sure they were running under jb authority.

YES i probably would need to get my own authority and ins.just trying other avenues.leasing my truck to them,they seem to be able to tell you how long youre going to stay out.since i own trk that should be my decision.

i've pulled for schneider with my authority it's called power plus you won't find it on their website you have to call.
alot of drop and hook some live unloads you call and get approval for lumpers and you pay they reimburce you
your authority your truck your liability / cargo insurance they charge $3 a day for insurance on the trailer.no charge for the trailer pulling their loads you pick your loads if they don't have loads for return you can use their trailers to get your own load. they charge $15 a day for the first two days then $30 a day for the next two then $45 a day after that
i did alot of local stuff that payed good but the longer loads don't pay that well .
jb hunt has the same program but you can't use the trailers for your own use they treat you more like a lease carrier it's kinda forced dispatch
either company if you have your own trailer you can use them as a broker but then of course all your loads will be live load /unload -
Thanks guys for all the helpful info.
