Lease on to our authority.

Your sleeper tractor, your business, our USDOT and MC. This is over-the-road, state-to-state work out of Philadelphia, PA — long-haul lanes, not regional turns. Two documents cover the relationship: an Independent Contractor Agreement and a separate Equipment Lease Agreement. The terms below are the terms in the paperwork — where a figure is not yet listed here, it is in the agreement, not invented on this page.
