The Small Carrier Manifesto

Small carriers, as defined by the ATA (American Trucking Associations), are those with fewer than ten trucks. Surprisingly, 95% of all the trucks on the road belong to small carriers, comprising over one million drivers. This is equivalent to a workforce 40x the size of the largest U.S. fleet. Yet, unlike their larger counterparts, small carriers often miss out on significant discounts for fuel, insurance, and maintenance. Furthermore, large carriers operate without the need for factors or brokers, further bolstering their profitability.

Imagine a world where small carriers can access the same discounts as the industry giants and increase their revenue by an additional 10-20%. Life as a small trucker would undoubtedly become more manageable. This is the vision that drives Haulers United.

HAULERS UNITED VISION

We are an association of small carriers, united to transform the industry. If all small carriers unite under one banner and demand fair compensation for their professional services, we will become an undeniable force.

Phase 1 – Power in Numbers: Our unity will enable us to negotiate substantial price reductions for our operating expenses such as fuel, insurance, maintenance, and more, reflecting the benefits enjoyed by the largest carriers today. By lowering our everyday costs and boosting profits, we will level the playing field.

Phase 2 – Shipper Direct: We will unite on a single, comprehensive software application. Our system will be operated for the benefit of the small carrier without high fees or the need to bid against each other. By bringing our power and influence together, we will set fair and stable rates while reducing our reliance on industry middlemen.

It’s a Membership, Not a Commitment

Joining our association is not a binding commitment, it merely offers another avenue for success. Our goal is to create a future where small carriers prosper. By coming together we can increase our topline revenue and end the rollercoaster of rate fluctuations, benefiting both carriers and the nation.
