The short version

Owner-operators at Forbes Logistix keep 90% of total billed revenue, paid on weekly settlements. You run the truck and cover fuel, insurance, plates, and maintenance. We handle load sourcing, billing, dispatch, and settlements. Bring a tractor only, or a tractor and trailer. The freight is flatbed and open-deck, running the Southeast and Texas out of our Jackson, MS terminal. You need a valid Class A CDL and at least 1 year of verifiable OTR experience. To apply, call (601) 300-5529 or use the quick-apply form on this page. Apply before 4 PM CT and we'll call you back today.

The deal

Keep 90% of total billed revenue.

The split is simple: you keep 90% of what the load bills. The 10% pays for the work that keeps your truck earning: we source the loads, bill the customers, run dispatch, and cut your settlement every week. You never invoice anyone.

Weekly settlements mean exactly that: you settle every week. Billing the customer is our job, so you haul the load, we bill it, and your 90% comes through on the weekly settlement.

You will not find dollar-figure earnings estimates on this page. Your revenue depends on the loads you run, so the percentage is the number we stand behind.

You run the truck

Your tractor, your business: fuel, insurance, plates, and maintenance are yours. You keep 90% because you carry the iron.

We keep it loaded

Load sourcing, billing, dispatch, and weekly settlements are on us. That's what the 10% buys: you drive, we handle the back office.

Equipment

Bring a tractor. The trailer is optional.

We contract owner-operators two ways. Come on with just your tractor and pull our trailers, or bring your own tractor and trailer.

If you already run your own trailer, bring it. If you don't, that should not stop you: tractor-only owner-operators pull our trailers. Talk to recruiting about equipment standards and onboarding.

Lanes

Where you'll run.

We run flatbed and open-deck freight across Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, the Carolinas, and Texas, with drivers based in the Southeast. Home base is our terminal at 3180 Utica Ave in Jackson, Mississippi: a 3-acre lot with a 25,000 sq ft warehouse.
