Transam Carriers is a Toronto-based asset carrier with 120+ trucks, our own customs desk, and a cross-dock in Concord. We are adding owner operators to our D1 East Coast LTL and express operation. This is heavy LTL, multi-stop, time-sensitive freight down the eastern seaboard, moving through our own dock. It is not one-pick one-drop truckload work, and it does not suit someone learning LTL for the first time.
The deal is straightforward: you earn 75% of the load revenue. We front the things that are easier to buy at fleet scale and deduct them from your settlement:
- Fuel card
- Toll transponder
- Insurance
- Trailer plates and permits
Beyond that, the truck is yours and so are its costs. You are running a business, not collecting a wage. Over the last six months, the median D1 owner operator grossed about $6,400 a week, running roughly two trips and about 1,600 miles. That is real settlement data from our own trucks, gross before your costs.
What you bring:
- Verifiable LTL experience — this is a requirement, not a preference.
- Your own tractor, in good mechanical condition and able to pass inspection.
- AZ licence with clean abstract and CVOR.
- FAST card, or eligibility to obtain one.
- Cross-border experience and a clean criminal record for US entry.
- Minimum 2 years verifiable driving experience.
- Comfort with physical, hands-on freight handling.
Before you apply: Bring your questions about the percentage, what each deduction actually costs, fuel surcharge treatment, and expected weekly miles. We would rather answer them on the first call than have you discover the answers in month two.
How we hire: We use an AI phone screen for the first conversation on some roles — you will be told before it starts, and a person makes every hiring decision.
Pay: 75% of load revenue - median $6,400/week gross Canada / US cross-border lanes.
