⚠️ PLEASE READ: THIS IS A BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP, NOT A JOB VACANCYWe are not looking for a traditional full-time employee or a W2 Terminal Manager.

The Model: Scale Your Fleet. We Handle the Burden.This partnership is designed for experienced drayage operators who want to run a profitable hub without the administrative, regulatory, and cash-flow headaches of operating their own independent motor authority:
- We Own & Handle: Safety compliance, driver enrollment/vetting, corporate factoring, automated billing, cargo insurance, and access to chassis pools.
- We Bring to the Table: High-volume direct shippers and contractual customer lanes that need immediate, reliable capacity.
- You Own & Handle: The local terminal operation, asset deployment, and the daily management of your fleet/drivers.
- Immediate Freight Volume: Instant injection of high-volume contractual customer loads to keep your trucks moving.
- Strong Financial Backing: Non-recourse factoring and rapid settlement structures to fund your growth seamlessly.
- Turnkey Back-Office: Completely removes the burden of dealing with the DOT, FMCSA, drug & alcohol clearinghouses, and continuous compliance audits.
- Flexible Dispatch Setup: We can manage the sales and corporate dispatch for you, or we can transition that control directly to your team.
- An Established Fleet Owner: You currently own, lease, or have direct control over a fleet of trucks looking for dedicated, consistent work.
- A Drayage Expert: You fully understand rail/port operations, container per-diem, demurrage mitigation, and yard logistics in major shipping hubs like Chicago.
- An Execution-Focused Operator: You want to focus 100% on keeping trucks moving, managing drivers, and maximizing fleet utilization, leaving the corporate paperwork to us.
If you have the trucks and the drive to scale a tier-one drayage hub, let’s skip the corporate fluff and talk numbers.
