For Carriers
Carrier Partnership Questions
Absolutely not. You are an independent contractor. We present your best options
based on your criteria, but you have final say on every load. We work for you — not the other
way around.
Yes. We act as your authorized agent under your MC authority. Your authority stays in your name
— always. If you're in the process of getting your authority, reach out and we can advise you
through the process.
We charge a flat 5% of gross load revenue. That covers dispatch, compliance
monitoring, back-office management, and lane strategy. No hidden fees, no setup costs, no
cancellation penalties.
None. Our partnership is entirely voluntary. If you're not happy with our service, you're free
to leave at any time — no penalties, no paperwork. We earn your loyalty by delivering results.
OTR Solutions offers True Non-Recourse factoring — meaning they absorb the credit risk if a
broker doesn't pay. You can receive funds within hours of delivery, instead of waiting 30–90
days for invoice settlement. We coordinate the factoring setup as part of your onboarding. Learn more about OTR Solutions.
Yes. We use Motive for real-time compliance monitoring, HOS tracking, and load status updates.
If you don't have Motive yet, we'll walk you through setup during onboarding.
We source freight across the lower 48 states, with particularly strong lane density in the
Southeast and Midwest.
Dry Van (48' & 53'), Flatbed, Step Deck, Reefer, Power Only, and Drop & Hook configurations.
