About the Team
UACL Logistics is a leader in the transportation and logistics industry, dedicated to empowering owner operators with the tools, resources, and support needed to grow their business. With a strong national network, advanced technology platforms, and comprehensive administrative and operations support, we help drivers stay efficient, profitable, and focused on what they do best—delivering freight safely and on time.
About the Role
We are seeking experienced CDL-A Owner Operator Drivers across the United States to join our network as independent contractors. This role is ideal for business-minded drivers seeking higher earnings potential and the flexibility of running their own operation. As a partner within our network, you will have access to a robust agent base of 300+ freight agents nationwide, consistent freight opportunities, and top-tier operational support.
You will operate a commercial vehicle in accordance with DOT regulations, planning routes that minimize empty miles and maximize fuel efficiency. The position requires maintaining regular communication with UACL agents for load alerts and scheduling, ensuring freight is properly handled, and utilizing our technology tools for load management and documentation. You will represent UACL with professionalism at pickup and delivery locations, building strong working relationships with customers, agents, and operations staff.
Compensation & Benefits
Our compensation structure is designed to maximize your earnings. In the Van Division, you can earn 67% of linehaul if renting a van trailer from UACL, with the option to switch to 75% linehaul by moving to a weekly flat trailer rental rate. Flatbed Division drivers earn 75% of linehaul, with weekly flat rate trailer rental available if you do not have your own flatbed. Actual pay-per-mile and weekly gross earnings vary based on customers, freight lanes, and driver preference (regional, OTR, dedicated, etc.).
We offer a $5,000 sign-on bonus paid to the truck. Additional perks include 24/7 operations and road service support, the U-Save Driver Discount Program, hotel savings, cell phone plan discounts, fuel, maintenance, and retail perks, competitive insurance programs, and an available plates program.
Hiring Process
Onboarding is streamlined through an online orientation to ensure fast integration into our network. Once selected, you will coordinate with our Operations team regarding trailer rental options and begin accessing our national agent base.
