A Support System Unlike Any Other
Outbound or homebound, our 24/7 Dedicated Driver Support Team is here for you. Forward also understands the importance of spending time with the ones you love, and we will get you home regularly. (Did we mention that our annualized driver turnover is over 60% lower than the industry normal?) Come find out for yourself why Owner Operators who start with us, stay with us!
If you’re not an Owner Operator but would like to explore your growth opportunities, we can help! Forward Air has lease-purchase opportunities available through third-party vendors. Let us help get you in your own truck and on the road.
Fleet Owners – Fleet Forward Program
What if you’re looking to bring on an additional truck as a first-time fleet owner? How about a fleet owner with multiple trucks running? Don’t worry, Forward can help you, too! Fleet Forward is a compensation package that allows fleet owners with more than one truck to receive additional compensation relative to the number of trucks leased to Forward Air. This monthly payment is cut directly to the fleet owner and pays an additional rate per-mile (that escalates based on the number of trucks you have seated), for all miles ran by your fleet that month. Ask us for more information!
