Where you'll run in Washington
Washington freight moves on I-5 and I-90 and I-82, and our flatbed, reefer and dry van loads run all 48 states out of our Kent, WA home yard — so what you run depends on the week and on what you take. Regional drivers get home weekly; OTR runs 2-3 weeks with real route planning, not forced dispatch.
- Flatbed, Reefer, Dry Van — you pick what you're set up for
- Touch level stated on the load before you accept it
- Fuel card with fleet discounts at major stops
- Dispatch that answers — a direct line, not a call center
What we ask
- Valid CDL-A, 2+ years verifiable experience preferred
- Clean-enough MVR — we look at the whole picture, not one ding
- Owner operators: truck in roadworthy shape, we handle the rest
- Live anywhere in Washington or along our lanes — the freight comes to you

Know before you haul: the Washington freight market
Notes from running these lanes ourselves — the markets, the seasons, and the details that change what a week in Washington actually pays.
Seattle & Tacoma
The two ports operate together as the Northwest Seaport Alliance — the sixth-busiest container gateway in the country, moving over 3 million TEUs a year. That port volume feeds steady drayage-adjacent dry van work in both directions, and import surges show up as reload opportunities across the whole Puget Sound market.
Kent Valley
Our home yard sits in the Kent–Auburn–Sumner industrial corridor — the second-largest industrial park on the West Coast and the third-largest distribution and warehouse concentration in the nation, behind only NY/NJ and Los Angeles. Big-box distribution freight starts minutes from where our trucks park.
Spokane
The I-90 gateway between Puget Sound and the northern Rockies — the last major market heading east and a regular reload point on our I-90 runs into Idaho and Montana.
Yakima & Wenatchee
Central Washington's produce belt, reached off I-82 and US-2/I-90. During harvest this is one of the strongest reefer origin markets in the western US — see the seasonal notes below.
Season by season
- Apple season is the big one: Washington grows roughly 60% of America's fresh apples, and harvest runs August (Gala) through November (Fuji, Granny Smith), with mid-October the peak crush. Reefer demand and outbound rates out of Yakima, Wenatchee, and the Columbia Basin climb through the fall — a well-timed reefer can stay loaded out of central Washington for months.
- Winter on the passes: from November 1 to April 1, every rig over 10,000 lbs GVWR must carry chains on designated routes, including I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass (the chain-law area runs roughly North Bend to Ellensburg). Snoqualmie is the state's most actively enforced chain zone, and getting caught without chains when they're required is a $500 fine — we plan winter transit windows over the pass rather than gamble on them.
Worth knowing
- Washington has no state income tax — a company driver's wages and an owner operator's earnings only see federal tax here, so the same gross pay nets you more than it would in most other states.
