Pro Fleet Advantage

In addition to everything offered through our Base Independent Contractor program, Pro Fleet contractors receive an added layer of financial protection.

Truck Payment Protection

If you're unable to work three or more days during a payroll week due to WEL-related issues , you may qualify for:

  • One-half truck payment credit
  • Available once per month (additional approvals available through committee review)

The Pro Fleet is designed for contractors who are committed to delivering exceptional service while enjoying the freedom of business ownership.

Driver Requirements

  • Valid Class A CDL
