What actually costs a Minnesota driver money
Plenty of freight comes into Minnesota. Getting paid well to leave is harder. That gap is where your profit goes.
Getting out of the Twin Cities is the hard part
Freight comes into Minneapolis all year. Getting a decent rate coming in is easy. Getting paid properly to leave is not. A driver who takes the first load out every week is the driver who wonders why the money never grows.
Winter is worth more money, and most drivers do not charge for it
A reefer in a Minnesota January is doing a different job. The box is keeping the load from freezing, not from getting warm. That is a fair reason to hold out for a better rate, and it is a conversation we will have four times with the same broker.
We already run the lanes on three sides of you
Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan into Ohio are lanes we run all the time, two of them with every truck coming back loaded. A Twin Cities truck heading south-east is joining freight we already know how to price.
We answer when your truck is moving
A reefer breakdown at 2am in a Minnesota winter is a ruined load, not an inconvenience. Your dispatcher is on WhatsApp whenever your truck is running.
The lanes we can prove, on three sides of you
We will be straight with you. Most of our loads have run through Ohio, and we do not have three years of Minnesota numbers to show you. What we do have are the lanes a Minnesota truck joins as soon as it heads south-east, and those we know very well.
How often the truck came back loaded on each lane, from our own book. Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan all border or feed Minnesota.
Minnesota cities we dispatch out of
We do not have an office you can walk into in Minnesota, and we will not pretend we do. Your dispatcher is one phone call or WhatsApp message away, which is how you would contact them from the truck anyway.
Minneapolis
The busiest part of the metro. Food and drink shippers here mean reefer loads going out, not just coming in.
St. Paul
Where I-94 heads east and the Wisconsin runs start. The closest thing the Twin Cities has to a steady round trip.
Bloomington / Eagan
Where a lot of local trucks park. Close to both interstates without going through downtown.
Rogers / Maple Grove
Warehouses on the north-west side, on the I-94 run out toward St. Cloud.
Duluth
A long way from the metro, but the port and the northern runs pay when the trip is planned properly.
Bring us one month of your settlements
Thirty minutes. We look at what you hauled out of Minneapolis, how many empty miles you ran, and what you actually kept after fuel. Then we tell you if we can beat it. If we cannot, we will say so. We would rather lose thirty minutes than take money from a driver we cannot help.
