Short-haul freight that keeps you inside your air-mile radius and home every night — with stops, wait time and driver assist priced in before you accept.
Local work is the only kind of trucking with a regulation drawn around it. Stay inside 150 air miles, get released inside 14 hours, and the paperwork burden drops away. Step outside it by one run and the day needs a log.
So we dispatch local the way it has to be run: inside your radius, back to your reporting location in time, with the stops and the dock time on the confirmation instead of eating your afternoon for free.
Loads kept inside your 150 air-mile radius
Return-to-terminal timing checked before you accept
Stops, wait time and driver assist priced into the rate
Detention and lumper documented the day it happens
Broker setup, check calls and paperwork handled
Invoicing and collection on every load we book
Local carriers get squeezed twice — short miles rated like long miles, and hours burned at docks nobody paid for. We quote short-haul the way it actually runs and keep the radius intact so the short-haul exception still applies to your day. Flat 5% of the gross on loads we book, no contract.
Local work is defined by a regulation, not a preference. Under the FMCSA short-haul exception in 49 CFR 395.1(e), a driver who operates within a 150 air-mile radius of the normal work reporting location (about 172.6 road miles) and is released from work within 14 consecutive hours does not have to keep records of duty status or run an ELD, and is not held to the 30-minute break requirement.
Read the limits carefully, because this is where carriers get themselves violated: the exception removes the paperwork, not the hours. The 11-hour driving limit, the 14-hour window and the 60/70-hour rule still apply, and the driver must return to the same work reporting location. Cross that radius or run past 14 hours and the day needs a log.
Loads kept inside your air-mile radius so the exception holds
Return-to-terminal timing checked before you accept a run
Multi-stop and dock-time realities priced in, not assumed
Detention and lumper documented the same day it happens
Rates negotiated per load, invoiced by us, paid to you
No contract and no forced dispatch — you approve every load
A 90-mile run with three stops and two hours at a dock is not a 90-mile job, and it should never be rated like one. Local and short-haul freight is really sold in truck-days: how many stops, how much waiting, how much handling.
We quote local work the way it actually runs — stops, wait time, driver assist and after-hours all on the confirmation before you accept — and our fee stays a flat 5% of the gross on loads we book, whichever way the load is priced.

Under 49 CFR 395.1(e), a driver operating within a 150 air-mile radius (about 172.6 road miles) of the normal work reporting location who is released from work within 14 consecutive hours does not have to keep records of duty status or use an ELD, and is not held to the 30-minute break rule.
No — and this is where carriers get violated. The exception removes the logging burden, not the limits: the 11-hour driving limit, the 14-hour window and the 60/70-hour rule still apply, and the driver must return to the same reporting location.
By the day as much as by the mile — stops, wait time and handling drive it. We put those terms on the confirmation before you accept, and our fee stays a flat 5% of the gross either way.
