    • A doctor (the MRO) reads every result

    Get enrolled

    Enroll from your dashboard once you connect your USDOT

    See how the pool works, and what it costs

    Billed monthly, or yearly for the consortium. Cancel from your portal. The Owner's Manual is reference, not legal advice, and the testing pool is run by a third-party C/TPA registered with FMCSA.

    Stop scrolling load boards at midnight.

    Give us the truck and we keep it loaded. A dispatcher works your truck and pushes the rate. The broker calls come to us. First we work out what your truck costs to run, so nobody books you under that number.

    • A dispatcher working your truck, not a load board login
    • Your floor rate on file, so nobody books you at a loss

    $375 per truck, per week, flat. Everything you book above it is yours.

    Or 8% of each load we book. Slow week, small bill.
