Is there a flat weekly fee?

No. We charge a percentage of weekly gross only. There is no flat rate, no setup fee and no monthly subscription. Local and regional work is quoted separately.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Thirty days notice, either direction, no termination fee. If the service is not earning its fee you should be able to leave.

Why do small trucks pay a higher percentage than semis?

Box truck and hotshot loads are smaller and more frequent, so each truck needs more calls, broker setups and paperwork per dollar of gross. That is why small trucks are 8-10% and semis 5-6%.
