Run Your Truck.Grow Your Business.
The Mile Truck owner operator program gives independent operators access to consistent freight lanes, transparent compensation, and a full operational support structure — without surrendering your independence.
Overview
What the Mile Truck owner operator program includes.
Leasing onto Mile Truck gives independent owner operators access to a structured freight operation without the overhead of running solo authority from scratch. Consistent planned dispatch, transparent per-mile or percentage compensation, and 24/7 live dispatch support — while you operate as a 1099 independent contractor with full control of your schedule and equipment.
The program is built for experienced operators who want freight consistency and operational infrastructure without the spot-market volatility, deadhead uncertainty, or administrative burden of running fully independent. You bring the truck and the professionalism — we provide the freight, the compliance infrastructure, and the support.
Details
What partnered operators receive
Consistent Freight Lanes
Pre-planned dispatch with freight coordinated before your truck rolls. Active lane coverage across all 48 contiguous states with a focus on consistent weekly mileage across primary OTR corridors.
Transparent Compensation
Per-mile or percentage-based pay with full transparency on every load. You see the rate before you accept — no hidden broker cuts, no unexplained deductions on your weekly settlement sheet.
Weekly Direct Settlement
Settlements processed weekly with direct deposit. A clear, itemized settlement sheet every cycle — fuel surcharge, accessorials, and gross pay fully documented. No irregular cycles, no holds.
24/7 Dispatch Support
Live dispatch coordination around the clock. A direct contact — not a call center — for load updates, detention tracking, breakdowns, and escalations on all active freight.
Compliance Infrastructure
Active FMCSA registration, MC authority, insurance backing, and a safety-first operational culture. Operate under a compliant carrier without managing your own authority's administrative overhead.
1099 / Independent Status
You are an independent contractor — not an employee. Full control of your schedule, your equipment decisions, and your business while operating on consistent, coordinated freight.
