š„ WHY OUR FLATBED PAY BEATS THE COMPETITION
You've seen the flatbed ads: "$2,700ā$3,300/week!" "28ā30% gross!" "$0.65 CPM!" Sounds great. Here's what they don't tell you:
ā "$3,300/week" headlines hide owner-operator strings. Many of those ads are escrow, fuel deductions, trailer rent ā by the time you're done paying everything, you're at $1,800.
ā 28ā30% caps are the COMPETITION'S ceiling. That's our floor. We start at 20% and climb to 35%. A driver pulling 30% somewhere else can come here and earn 17% MORE on the same freight.
ā CPM ads ($0.60ā$0.65/mile) cap your upside. When flatbed rates spike ā and they do, every season ā the CPM driver gets nothing extra. You get a bigger check automatically.
ā Our 35% cap has no ceiling on the freight side. When rates climb in construction season, when steel demand spikes, when the freight market tightens ā your check climbs with it. No begging dispatch. No renegotiation.
ā Our deductions are spelled out. Fuel, tolls, lumpers ā that's it.
ā Earn your way up to 35% by driving clean. Every clean month adds 1% to your pay.
š HOME TIME & LANES ā LET'S TALK ABOUT IT
Standard OTR: 6ā8 weeks out, 1 week home
Home-weekly lanes also available (with adjusted pay)
We work with you on home time based on the lanes and markets you want to run
Heads up: long OTR flatbed drivers make the most. We'll be straight about where the freight pays best so you can decide.
