How we work
We are ensuring all loads are planned ahead of time to shorten your waiting time for the next load.  Look at our typical workflow in 6 steps.
01
The owner-operator contacts dispatch to discuss his or her availability for the week, including any planned time off or specific scheduling preferences.
02
Dispatch provides best load options based on the owner-operator's preferences and communicates them through the Driver App messenger or phone call if further details need to be discussed.
03
Once the owner-operator agrees on a load, it is assigned to him or her and all pick up and delivery is made available in the Driver App.
04
Upon arrival at the pick-up location, the owner-operator records the check in time and check-out time in the Driver App to track detention and provide status updates for efficient planning.
05
When the owner-operator arrives at the delivery location, he or she enters the check-in and check-out time using the Driver App, enabling dispatch to assign the next load.
06
The owner-operator can easily submit all necessary documents using the Driver App scanner to send the Proof of Delivery in seconds.

Our story

Trucking is about so much more than the trucks; it’s about the people you work alongside each day. At Full Speed Ahead, we truly value each of the owner -operators we partner with, and we are thrilled to be adding even more incredible individuals to our amazing team.
After going through so much on the road and with various trucking companies, we realized we needed to create a business that was built to lift up the drivers who make it all happen. We started this new venture in 2013 and have had very low owner - operator turnover over the years. Our unique approach to how we treat owner-operators is why we’ve been so successful. We are fully engaged in the day-to-day operation of the company, as we want to make sure everyone who works for us is getting what is expected.

Trucking is not an easy industry, especially for those behind the wheel.

We know first-hand what it’s like out on the road. From traffic to accidents, not to mention the weather conditions, there are so many stressors a driver takes on each day. While it is tough work, trucking is crucial for our society to keep running.
That’s why at Full Speed Ahead we set out to create a business that not only handles the logistics our owner-operators are dealing with but also to be a support system to these incredible individuals who keep things moving.

What really sets us apart are the values and standards we have in place. We understand the importance of the work drivers do, and why they should be given respect and gratitude for that difficult work. Thanks to our trucking partners we have products on store shelves, building materials, and so much more that make daily life possible. This sort of critical role deserves to be appreciated with proper working conditions and clear communication.

When you’re ready to join a group of dedicated trucking enthusiasts who know the business from all angles and values the work of drivers, we would love to have you apply and become a part of our team. With the principles we’ve put into place, and the heart we have for each owner-operator who chooses to work with us, we promise to always deliver exceptional service and sincere care in everything we do.
