  • Solo Owner Operators
  • $1.28 per loaded mile + Fuel Surcharge
  • Projected annual earnings: $160,000–$200,000+

Fuel Surcharge

  • Average $0.40–$0.60 per mile
  • Weekly update to help offset the cost of fuel

Drive More. Wait Less.

  • We’ve built our network to keep you moving.

Industry-Leading Weekly Miles

  • Teams: 5,000+ miles per week
  • Solo: 2,000+ miles per week

Additional Benefits

  • Weekly settlements
  • Tolls, bridges, and scales paid or reimbursed
  • Safety-first culture
  • Quarterly safety bonus opportunities
  • 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. That's why we've built an operating model focused on helping Owner Operators increase their revenue through consistent freight, efficient operations and one of the strongest terminal networks in the industry.
