Why RUNX

What you can hold us to

1

A legal logbook

Hours of service are run legally. No second book, no editing your log to make the miles work.

2

Freight that repeats

About three quarters of what we haul is dedicated or contracted. Roughly half of loads are drop & hook.

3

Paid every Friday

Weekly settlements on a 1099. Deadhead pays the same as loaded miles on the CPM plan.

4

Equipment you are not fighting

Freightliner and Volvo tractors, 2022 through 2025, kept road-ready.

5

Our own shop

In-house and priority partner repair. Company trucks get service first, so a fault is a day, not a week.

6

Support that answers

Fuel program, tolls paid where applicable, roadside help around the clock, and a recruiter who follows up.

Tractors and trailers parked at a yard

Equipment

What you will be driving

One fleet, kept current. The trailer you pull depends on the lane you run, and dispatch tells you which before you take it.

Questions

What drivers ask first

What kind of freight do you run?

About 75% is dedicated or contracted, and 25% is OTR and spot market. Roughly half of loads are drop & hook, so you spend less of your day at a dock.

How much experience do I need?

Two years of CDL-A is the standard for the CPM plan and for dedicated. Teams need a year for each driver. The percentage plan has a training path, so less experience is not an automatic no — it goes to a person, not to a filter.

When do I get paid?

Weekly, every Friday, on a 1099.

Will I be home every day?

No, and we will not tell you otherwise. Home time depends on the lane. Dedicated round trips reset more often than OTR does, and the recruiter will tell you what a specific lane actually looks like before you accept it.

What would disqualify me?

Two things stop an application outright: not holding a valid Class A CDL, and being in the SAP program. A DUI, DWI or a violation on your record does not auto-reject you — it goes to a Safety review that a person carries out.

What documents do you need?

A valid Class A CDL and a current Medical Card to start. After that we run MVR and PSP and complete a Safety review before orientation.

Is there a sign-on bonus?

$2,000, paid as $500 every three months while you are active with us.

Do you help with getting here?

You cover your travel to us, and approved travel is reimbursed with your first check.

Can I talk to someone in Ukrainian?

Yes. Ukrainian-speaking support is available, and it is offered with the percentage pay plan. English is our main working language, and which language you prefer has no effect on the offer you qualify for.

Can I run as an owner-operator?

Yes. Dispatch is 12%, a trailer is available at $150 a week if you run bobtail, and the freight is the same dedicated and contracted work. The $10,000+ figure is weekly gross potential — it is not take-home and it is not a guarantee.
