Questions carriers ask
Do you negotiate tarp pay?
Yes. If a load needs tarps, we ask for tarp pay on the rate confirmation before you accept.
Can you dispatch oversize loads?
Yes, when you have the right equipment and experience. We flag permit and escort needs up front so you can decide.
Do you work Permian Basin oilfield freight?
Yes. We're based in Midland, Texas, and look for oilfield pipe and materials when they fit your lanes.
