Your Truck. Your Loads. Your Rates. Your Business.
You book the freight. You negotiate the rate. You pick the lane. We handle the back office.
Why drivers come here
What self-dispatch actually means here
Most carriers advertise a percentage. Very few hand you the keys to the business.
You book the loads
Your authority to say yes or no. No forced dispatch, ever.
You set the rates
You negotiate. What you agree to is what the load pays.
You pick the lanes
Run where you want to run. Home when you want to be home.
We run the back office
Settlements, IFTA, insurance, plates, permits, and someone who answers the phone.
Control YOUR business.
Run the lanes you choose and work with the brokers you already have relationships with. We give you the authority, the fuel discount and the back office — you build the book of business.
Run the numbers
85% is a claim until you do the arithmetic
2,500 miles a week at our company average rate, pulling your own trailer, with fuel and fees taken out where they actually land. That is the whole calculation, shown as a real ledger instead of a promise.
Based on 2,500 miles a week, 10% deadhead, 6.5 MPG and current diesel. Move any of those and the number moves with it.
Advanced Trucking
We do things differently
Full control
You own the truck. You decide when you roll, where you go and what you haul. Nobody here assigns you a load you did not agree to.
Owner-operator training
Never booked your own freight? Your first weeks, we sit with you on the load boards — reading rates, spotting the lanes that pay, and telling you which loads to walk away from.
Earn what you need
You book the loads, you set your rates, and you keep 85% pulling your own trailer. Not “up to” 85% — 85%.
From our contractors
What the drivers actually say
“At Advanced Trucking I love the freedom to book my own loads. I get home when I want to. Everyone at Advanced treats me like family.”
“Their owner-operator program is second to none. They have a great mechanic and shop facilities to keep your truck on the road, safe and legal. They let me schedule a service and annual inspections so that when I pulled in, they were right on my truck. These guys understand that our time is important.”
Lease purchase
Want the business, but don’t own a truck yet?
You don’t have to already own a truck to run like an owner-operator here. Lease one from our fleet and you still book your own freight, negotiate your own rates and pick your own lanes.
- Freightliner Cascadias out of our own fleet, automatic and manual
- Our shop and our mechanic on site — service and annual inspections get scheduled, not hunted for
- The same self-dispatch authority as every other owner-operator here
- Settlements, IFTA, insurance, plates and permits handled the same way
“If you want to be an owner-operator without having to do all the stuff an owner-operator has to do, then this is the place to be. You can lease a truck from them and book your own freight. They are awesome people to work with, and if you ever need help with anything they are there for you anytime.”
Company drivers
Not ready to own a truck yet?
We’re hiring company drivers for Midwest regional. It’s a real job with a guaranteed minimum, not a placeholder — and it’s how a lot of our owner-operators got started.
The run
Midwest regional, plus Midwest to the South, East and Southeast.
Home time
Two options: home weekly, or 2–3 weeks out with 3 days home.
The equipment
Late-model Freightliner, automatic transmission.
Guaranteed weekly minimum
Every company driver runs on a guaranteed weekly minimum. What that works out to depends on the run and your experience, so we’d rather tell you straight than post a number that doesn’t apply to you.
Call (317) 978-0276 and we’ll walk you through it.
Plenty of our owner-operators started exactly here.
Indianapolis based since 2016. A 48-state truckload fleet — dry van, reefer and flatbed — built almost entirely of owner-operators.
