  • Projected annual earnings: $160,000–$200,000+

Fuel Surcharge

  • Average $0.40–$0.60 per mile

  • Annual safety giveaways—including the chance to win a car!
  • A genuine partnership with a culture of support when you need it

What You'll Need

  • Valid Class A CDL
  • Minimum 12 months of verifiable Class A CDL tractor-trailer experience
  • Minimum age of 23 years
  • Meet all DOT qualification requirements

Why Forward?

Forward is built on a foundation of Independent Contractors. Your truck is your business, we know that.
