Freight that's easy on your truck. Run 99% no-touch, drop & hook freight averaging just 26,000 pounds - lightweight loads that mean less wear and tear on your equipment and more of your revenue staying put.
Best-in-class weekly miles. Solo Owner Operators average 2,500 miles per week running Forward's closed terminal network of 100+ nationwide locations, keeping you moving and earning consistently. Drivers are typically out 3-4 weeks at a time.
Support built around your success. A dedicated Driver Support Team is available to help with any concerns that come up, giving Owner Operators the backing they need to run a successful business.

Owner Operator Perks & Support

Programs designed to save you money. Forward offers an assortment of cost-saving programs - including a substantial fuel surcharge program - built to help Owner Operators offset rising industry expenses and keep more of what they earn.
A network built to keep you earning. Routes run exclusively between Forward's nationwide terminal locations, supporting some of the strongest average annual revenue in the industry for Owner Operators who partner with Forward.

All pay and bonus amounts may vary by job type, location, experience level, and performance and are subject to change based on company discretion. Talk with a recruiter to confirm specific details.
