Home base Kent, WA Family-run since 2014

Sukhdev Thind started this in Kent in 2014.

We prioritize our drivers. Leave the headache to us.

Still a family company, still run out of Kent. Here’s what it pays, what we run, and who picks up.

A letter from Sukhdev.

I’ve been in trucking over 20 years. I’ve done the long hours. I’ve been the truck number to a dispatcher who never learned my name. That’s the part I set out to fix.

So in 2014 I started my own, here in Kent. Family-run. Here you’re a person, not a truck number.

This is how it runs. Owner-operators keep 90% of the gross. Company drivers get $0.65 a mile, paid every week. Nobody forces a load on you. The trucks are 2023–⁠2025 Freightliner Cascadias and Volvo VNLs.

When you call, somebody in Kent picks up. Days, nights, and weekends. Punjabi and English, the same person, and they know your name. It’s a direct line, not a call center.

We’re 10+ trucks now, running flatbed, reefer, and dry van in all 48 states. We’re building our own software too, LoadOff. Still family. Still Kent. If you want to drive with us, or you’ve got freight to move, call. You’ll get a person.
