Why long-haul with us
Built for the driver who wants miles
Not local. Not regional. Real over-the-road freight for drivers who'd rather see the country than the same loading dock.
Every mile paid
Practical miles, weekly settlements, transparent pay sheet. Detention and layover paid.
Home time you pick
Run 2 weeks out / 3 days home, or longer stretches for bigger checks. You set it with dispatch, not the other way around.
Late-model trucks
Automatics, APUs, inverters, fridge. Assigned truck — nobody else drives it.
A crew, not a number
One dispatcher who knows your name. A driver group chat. Your posts on our channels.

We speak your language.
Alongside our American drivers, we have drivers who came from Ukraine, Russia, Moldova, Belarus, Poland and the Baltics. Here you don't start over — you start ahead: a dispatcher who speaks your language, weekly pay you can count on, and a real path to your own truck.
Разом з американськими водіями у нас працюють водії з України, Росії, Молдови, Білорусі, Польщі та Балтії. Тут не починаєш з нуля: диспетчер розмовляє твоєю мовою, зарплата щотижня, і реальний шлях до власної фури.
Диспетчер говорит с тобой на твоём языке
Russian- and Ukrainian-speaking dispatch, safety and payroll — 24/7. Диспетчер, безпека та бухгалтерія розмовляють українською та російською. No translating your own paperwork, ever.
Документы — разберём вместе
We walk you through DOT paperwork, CDL questions and work-authorization requirements in your language. Допоможемо з документами DOT, CDL та дозволом на роботу. Green card, citizenship, or asylee / refugee status with a state-issued CDL — ask us about yours.

Мы знаем, что болит · Знаємо, що болить
Six things that break drivers. Six things we fixed.
We asked drivers who came from Eastern Europe what went wrong at their last carrier. Here is what they said, and what we do about it — in writing.
English at the roadside
The problem26,000+ drivers have been put out of service since 2025 for not passing the roadside English check.
Our answerFree "Roadside English" course before your first load: inspection phrases, signs, logbook talk. A laminated cab card and a practice DOT stop at orientation. Nobody dispatches until they are inspection-ready.
CDL & status paperwork
The problemNon-domiciled CDL rules changed in 2025–26. Renewals get denied and nobody explains why.
Our answerA compliance desk in Russian and Ukrainian tracks your CDL, med card and work-authorization dates, reminds you 90 days out, and books a paid consult with our partner immigration attorney when your case needs one.
Getting cheated
The problemHidden deductions, escrow that never comes back, "company driver" jobs that turn out to be 1099.
Our answerW-2 pay. Every deduction printed on the settlement in your language. Escrow returned within 30 days of leaving. Contracts in RU / UA / EN, and the pay sheet in your hands before you sign.
Miles that don't come
The problemThe #1 reason drivers quit: trucks that break and weeks with no miles.
Our answer$2,500/week minimum guarantee, breakdown pay of $150/day, trucks under 2 years old, and a one-hour response promise from dispatch — day or night.
Family far away
The problemFamily in Kyiv, Chișinău or Kraków. Holidays alone at a truck stop.
Our answerHome for Orthodox Christmas and Easter if you ask. Unlimited in-cab Wi-Fi. Rider policy for your spouse. A $1,000 family-visit flight bonus after your first year.
Starting from zero
The problemNo US credit history, no US references, English still coming.
Our answer$0-down Drive to Own with no credit check. Bank and credit-union introduction on day one. Orientation in your language. A mentor driver from your community for your first 30 days.
Where we run
Coast to coast lanes
Dry van and reefer, 48 states. Long lanes mean fewer stops, more miles, and better weeks. These are the corridors our drivers post from most.

Own your truck
Ask about Drive to Own
Drive to own. Walk away with the keys.
A lease-to-own path for drivers who want their own truck without a bank loan. Company freight, company fuel discounts, and a truck that is yours at the end — written so a driver can read every number before signing.
$0 down
No down payment, no credit check. Your first week of freight is your first week of equity.
3-year term
$850/week, fixed. Truck priced at fair-market value — the number is on page one of the contract, not buried.
2024+ trucks
Late-model, automatic, APU, full warranty. Maintenance escrow so a breakdown never becomes a missed payment.
Walk-away clause
Change your mind? Hand back the keys with no penalty and keep 50% of the equity you built. No debt follows you.
You pick the loads
No forced dispatch. Load board access, percentage-of-linehaul pay, and our fuel-card discounts on every gallon.
Keys at the end
Make the last payment and the title is yours. Keep running with us at owner-operator rates, or take it anywhere.
Two ways to run
Company driver — $0.85+/mi, assigned truck, we carry the risk.
Drive to own — 72% of linehaul, your truck, your equity.
Switch either way — start company, move to Drive to Own after 6 months. Or come back.
