Local Lane Contracts
Get local and regional haul contracts that fit your home-time needs and lane experience
What are local lane contracts, and how do they work?
A local lane contract is a standing deal to run a fixed route for a specific shipper or broker. It has the same origin and destination, on a regular schedule, at a set rate. Grow Trucking negotiates these so you get predictable weekly revenue and less deadhead. You get routes that fit your home-time instead of chasing one-off loads.

Local Lane Contracts Questions
Common questions about Grow Trucking's local lane contracts — what it covers, how it works, and what it costs.
Dedicated lanes give you predictable revenue, a known schedule, and less deadhead, because the shipper plans around your truck. Spot freight can pay more in a good week. But you must find every load again, and slow weeks hit you harder.
No. Most carriers run a base of contract lanes for stability. They take spot loads on top when the rate is right. Your dispatcher manages both.
Terms vary by shipper. Some are 30-day evergreen agreements. Others run 6–12 months. Grow Trucking negotiates the rate, mileage, and cancellation terms before you commit.
It is covered by Grow Trucking’s standard dispatch fee. The fee is a percentage of linehaul by equipment type, a flat $300 per week, or $40–60 per load. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.
