Box truck pay, carriers, and contracts โ€” explained straight.

Built by a dispatcher and a recruiter who got tired of watching drivers get burned by the stuff nobody explains up front. Start with the calculator. Read the guides. Sign nothing until you've seen what actually matters.

Why this site exists

Between the two of us, we've placed more than 50 box truck drivers and run dispatch on nothing but box trucks.

We've been on both ends of the same phone call a thousand times โ€” a driver and a carrier burning 40 minutes only to find out the pay split, the dispatch model, or the equipment was never going to work.

The information that ends that call in 30 seconds is out there. Nobody puts it where a driver can actually see it. So we did โ€” everything we know, written down, and the tools we wish drivers had, built and free.

And we're building something bigger from the same idea. More on that below.

The guides

What we end up explaining to every driver, written down once. Read it before you sign anything.
