Owner Operators

Dispatch System
M & D Freight, Inc. operates a first in-first out dispatch system.  We allow our owner-operators to act as independent businessmen and women. 

Central Dispatch
Unlike some companies who require you to “find your own load,” we operate a central dispatch system.  We believe you are paid to deliver your loads – not look for them.  With a central dispatch system, you call one location for all your load information.

24 hours, 7 days a week
We realize that your job is not an eight-to-five business and neither is ours.  We always have someone ready to answer the telephones anytime you call.

High Speed Information
Contractors appreciate our satellite communication system, which provides seamless access to directions, routing information and messages from home.

Freight Lanes and Home Time

Our Freight Lanes
Nationwide, we currently have a base of over 500 customers and we continue an aggressive growth plan.  
M & D Freight, Inc. continuously monitors rates, loaded miles, empty miles and revenue per truck per day.  This insures that money you need to make as an owner-operator is there to keep you profitable.

Home Time
At M & D Freight, Inc., home time is something we take seriously.  Because of our large customer base, the majority of our fleet is home every other night without having to drive far out of route to get there.   

Your Voice Counts
We routinely hold meetings with our independent contractors to discuss rates, freight lanes and new customer accounts.  This allows your input into the things that matter to you.

Tractor Requirement / Independent Contractors
No application will be discounted due to year of tractor.  All equipment must meet/exceed requirements set by the company.  Tractor wheel base should not exceed 275” and a fueled weight of 19,700 lbs or less.  Stack height of 13’4” – 13”6” with back stack min of 12” 10”.  5th wheel max height of 47.5”.   A current DOT inspection must be provided on all tractors 4 years of age and older.
