What it takes to get seated
Published up front, because a carrier that will take anyone is a carrier whose safety record you will be sharing.
Do you qualify?
Four for four? Start the three questions. Outside one of them by a little? Call anyway — some of it is judgment, and Tina will tell you straight.
Standards protect your CSA score, not just ours
Every driver a carrier seats shares one safety rating. Lease on somewhere that takes anyone with a pulse and you inherit their roadside inspections, their crashes and their out-of-service rate — the numbers a broker checks before tendering a load, and the numbers an insurer prices.
So the bar is published here, in full, before you spend an hour on the phone. If you clear it, you will be running with operators who cleared it too.
- Brokers tender to us without a credit or safety hold
- Insurance stays at $350 a week instead of creeping up every renewal
- Fewer roadside inspections triggered by someone else’s record

Have these on your phone
photos are fineWhat we are not
Lease-purchase
We do not sell or finance trucks and we do not put you on a truck payment to us. You own your tractor or you do not lease on with us.
Forced dispatch
You may decline any load. We do not quietly punish it with the next offer.
A fee to apply
No orientation fee, no recruiting fee, no deposit before you are seated. Anybody in trucking who asks you for money to get hired is not hiring you.
Outside one line by a little?
Call anyway.
Twenty-two months instead of twenty-four, a 2015 truck in great shape, one ticket too many that is about to age off — Tina will tell you yes or no in one call, not after a week of paperwork.
