Operations

How we operate

A focused operating model today, with the processes and structure to grow into broader carrier operations over time.

  1. 01

    Hook-and-drop transport

    Trailers are dropped and picked up on schedule, loaded or empty, so equipment keeps moving without waiting on live loading or unloading.

FAQ

Common questions

Short summaries of federal rules with links to the official sources. General information only, not legal advice.

What is hook and drop?

In a hook-and-drop move, the driver drops a trailer at the facility and hooks a different one, loaded or empty, instead of waiting for live loading or unloading. It shortens time at the dock and keeps equipment on schedule.

What are the federal hours-of-service limits for property-carrying drivers?

A driver may drive up to 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty, may not drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty, must take a 30-minute break after 8 cumulative hours of driving, and may not drive after 60 or 70 hours on duty in 7 or 8 consecutive days. Taking 34 or more consecutive hours off duty restarts the weekly period. Specific exceptions exist, such as the short-haul and adverse driving conditions provisions.

Is the $750,000 federal minimum a cargo insurance requirement?

No. Under 49 CFR 387.9, $750,000 is the minimum level of public liability coverage, meaning bodily injury and property damage, for for-hire carriers of nonhazardous property in interstate commerce using vehicles rated at 10,001 pounds or more. Certain hazardous materials require $1,000,000 or $5,000,000. Cargo insurance is a separate coverage: household goods carriers must carry it under FMCSA rules, and for other freight, cargo coverage is commonly set by contract between the shipper and the carrier.

Is there a federal height limit for trucks?

No. There is no federal height limit for commercial motor vehicles. Each state sets its own, most commonly between 13 feet 6 inches and 14 feet. Federal rules do set a 102-inch width limit on the National Network and reasonable access routes, and require states to allow semitrailers of at least 48 feet there. Loads beyond a state's limits need that state's permit, which can include route and escort requirements.

What is the federal weight limit on the Interstate System?

80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, 20,000 pounds on a single axle and 34,000 pounds on a tandem axle, with lower limits where the Federal Bridge Formula requires them. The federal government does not issue oversize or overweight permits; states do, and state rules also apply off the Interstate System.
