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.
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 and consistent freight opportunities.
You will operate a commercial vehicle in accordance with DOT regulations, planning routes to 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 representing UACL with professionalism at pickup and delivery locations. You will utilize our technology tools for load management and documentation while participating in optional training programs to enhance operational efficiency.
Our compensation structure is designed to maximize your earnings potential. In the Van Division, you can earn 67% of linehaul if renting a van trailer from UACL, with an 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.
We offer a $5,000 sign-on bonus paid to the truck. Additional benefits include 24/7 operations and road service support, the U-Save Driver Discount Program, hotel savings, cell phone plan discounts, and perks for fuel, maintenance, and retail. We also provide competitive insurance programs, a plates program, and online orientation for fast onboarding.
To join our team, you must possess a valid CDL-A and own or lease a truck suitable for over-the-road operation. Candidates must meet all DOT and FMCSA qualifications and maintain a strong safety record. Our onboarding process features an online orientation to ensure a quick start. We look for drivers with a business-minded approach to managing their operations and a commitment to safety and compliance.
