Frequently asked

Questions drivers ask us.

Am I really home every night?

Yes. Our lanes are built around same-day return. Occasional regional runs may be offered — always optional and always with extra pay.

How does pay work?

Weekly direct deposit every Friday. Base pay plus mileage, with detention, layover, and stop-off pay clearly on your settlement.

What kind of trucks do you run?

A modern, well-maintained fleet — mostly late-model dry van and reefer, with dedicated flatbed and tanker on specific accounts.

How long is orientation?

Most drivers complete orientation in 1–2 days and are on their first run within the same week.

I'm an owner-operator — can I run under L5?

Absolutely. Select "owner-operator" on the application and a recruiter will walk you through lane options and settlement terms.
