Service 07 / Box Truck
Box Truck dispatch
Last-mile and regional straight-truck freight. Big-city freight, done right.
Rates vary by state, lane, equipment, load type, market conditions, deadhead and negotiated rate, and are not guaranteed. Weekly gross is an estimate based on about 2,500–3,000 miles per week, before fuel, dispatch fees, insurance and other operating costs. It is not a guarantee of earnings — actual revenue varies by market, lanes, load availability, equipment and negotiated rates.
