Keep Driving. We Handle the Rest.

You bring the truck. We bring the authority, the insurance, the plates, the freight, and the back office. You run under our sister carrier, J J Transportation Inc — MC 893705, active since 2014 with a 0.0% out-of-service rate. Verify it on FMCSA SAFER before you apply.

The deal

Straight talk

What We Deduct

Drivers assume the worst when deductions are hidden, so here they are.

Insurance. ELD. Trailer rent. Escrow.

That's the list. Every one of them appears itemized on your weekly settlement, and nothing comes off that isn't on it. Your recruiter gives you the exact amounts in writing before you sign — not after.

You remain responsible for your own fuel, maintenance, truck payment, bobtail coverage and occupational accident coverage.

FAQ

Common Questions

How does pay work?

You keep 80% of the gross linehaul on every load you run. We book it, you deliver it, we invoice and collect from the broker, and your share is deposited Friday. The percentage is fixed in your lease.

How often are settlements?

Weekly, every Friday, by direct deposit, itemized.

Is no forced dispatch real?

Yes. Dispatch offers you the load with the rate and the lane. You take it or you don't, and turning loads down doesn't change what you get offered next.

What am I still responsible for?

Your fuel, maintenance, truck payment, bobtail and occupational accident coverage. We carry primary liability and cargo and handle plates, IFTA and permits.

Can I keep my own authority instead?

Yes — that's our dispatch service, not a lease. See Dispatch or compare the two.

Questions

Straight answers

The things carriers ask us before they sign. If something isn't here, call and ask.

What does Fair Miles charge for dispatch?

5% of linehaul, or a flat $250 per truck per week — your choice, whichever works better for how you run. No setup fee and no minimum contract. The pricing is published here rather than held back until a sales call.

Do you force dispatch?

No. You see the load, the rate, and the lane before you accept anything. Turning down freight that doesn't work for your week is part of running your own business.

Are you a freight broker?

No. Fair Miles Logistics is an FMCSA-authorized motor carrier and a dispatch service. We work with brokers on your behalf, but we are not one. Our dispatch clients run on their own authority and book from the open market.

Whose authority do lease-on drivers run under?

Lease-on runs under our sister carrier, J J Transportation Inc, MC 893705 — active since 2014 with a 0.0% out-of-service rate on both vehicle and driver inspections. Fair Miles Logistics LLC and J J Transportation Inc are sister companies under common ownership.

Can you get me higher rates than I'm getting now?

We can't book loads that don't exist, and anyone promising a specific rate before seeing your lanes and equipment is guessing. What we do is know your lanes, work broker relationships, read every rate confirmation before you sign, and avoid freight that costs you the rest of the week.

How many carriers does each dispatcher handle?

We keep the ratio deliberately low. Your dispatcher should know your truck, your lanes, and what you won't haul without you re-explaining it every month.

Do I need my own authority to use your dispatch service?

Yes. Dispatch clients keep their own MC authority and their own insurance. If you don't have your own authority, the lease-on program is the other path.

What equipment types do you dispatch?

Dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck, power only, hotshot, and box truck.

When do settlements go out?

Lease-on drivers are settled every Friday, itemized, by direct deposit. Dispatch clients are paid by their own factor or customers; we support factoring coordination.

Where is Fair Miles Logistics based?

Lake Ann, Michigan. USDOT 4582393, MC 1824275. Our dispatch team covers extended hours because brokers send rate confirmations at all hours.
