The job
How we work with owner operators

No forced dispatch. Take the loads you want. Your dispatcher works your lanes and your home time.
Freight
Dry van only. Midwest, South, and East Coast, with strong outbound Chicago freight.
Truck requirements
2015 or newer, passes DOT inspection. We help with ELD setup.
Maintenance
Your truck, your shop. We'll point you to shops we trust on the road.
Insurance

Freight where it counts
Midwest, South, and East Coast
We're authorized in all 48 contiguous states, but our freight lives east of the Rockies. Most drivers run a regular pattern between the regions below and get home through Chicago.
Talk about current freight
Midwest
Home base. Most drivers get home through Chicago.
South
Steady year-round volume, drop and hook lanes.
East Coast
Higher-rate freight, planned to keep you out of the city at rush hour.
Real conversations. Real answers.
Ask one of our drivers.
Thinking about leasing on? We'll connect qualified applicants with a current Eagle Axis driver so you can get straight answers from someone who's already running with us. No recruiter script, no cherry-picked quotes.
