Why Join Blackhawk as an Owner Operator?

 

At Blackhawk Transport, Inc., we realize that developing partnerships with our owner-operators is essential to our continued success. That is why we strive to create A Way of Life for all of our employees.

The heart of Blackhawk is providing family-time and stability for our owner operators. Typically owner operators are home with their families on a weekly basis so they can enjoy a normal family life. The average trip is 650 miles.

Blackhawk has no age requirement on owner operator tractors and trailers. If your equipment can pass an annual DOT inspection, you can lease on with us. We offer one of best Owner Operator compensation contracts in the industry. Blackhawk pays all miles per PC Miler and fuel surcharge on loaded dispatched miles.

Other benefits for Owner Operators include:

  • No up front costs
  • Zero start up cost
  • Paid Liability and Cargo Insurance
  • Weekly Settlements - can be direct deposit, a check at the terminal or uploaded to your fuel card
  • Fuel Card and fuel network with discounts, passed on to you the owner-operator
  • Paid highway taxes (no cost to you)
  • No forced dispatch
  • Rider policy
  • Collision and Workers Comp available at excellent rates

A key benefit in choosing Blackhawk is that we provide Driver Managers, not Dispatchers/Load Planners: Driver Managers set Blackhawk apart from other trucking companies. Our Driver Managers partner with owner operators and each owner operator has an individual Driver Manager. Our Driver Managers, work with the owner operator to plan in advance for his next load, so that the minimum amount of time is lost before the owner operator is loaded and moving again.

Like the majority of Blackhawk’s management team, most of our Driver Managers are former drivers, so they understand what it is like in the “real world.”

The Blackhawk fleet has 160 company trucks. And the fleet is growing by more than two new trucks every month. The majority of company trucks are vans used for dedicated customer runs.
