The Challenge
Aisha had a box truck and was running delivery contracts that paid per stop — an exhausting model that left her earning $14/hour after expenses despite working 70-hour weeks. She wanted to transition to OTR freight but had no idea how to start and was worried about insurance costs eating her margins.
Grow Trucking Solution
Grow Trucking helped Aisha convert to linehaul freight contracts with two regional e-commerce fulfillment centers. We negotiated a linehaul rate, helped her transition insurance from commercial delivery to OTR cargo coverage saving $180/month, and onboarded her with a lumper service so she wasn't unloading freight herself.
Route Optimization
I-55 North to I-57 to I-70 West. Grow Trucking identified a preferred weigh station bypass for her weight class and arranged a fuel card with a 12-cent per gallon discount at Love's and Pilot locations on the route.
