Lease On

📌 Overview

Who This Lease-On Program Is For

This is designed for owner-operators who want the stability of running under an established carrier authority, but still want control over how they run their business. If you’re tired of chasing broker paperwork, inconsistent load quality, or “dispatching” that feels like a call center — this is a different lane.

Best fit

  • Owner-ops who want weekly settlements and a clean back-office flow
  • Drivers focused on RPM strategy, not just “any load”
  • People who value communication, documents, and compliance

Not a fit

  • Drivers who want forced dispatch or “take it or else” freight
  • Operators who won’t keep equipment inspection-ready
  • Anyone who can’t maintain professional check-ins and POD habits
💵 Compensation

Compensation (75/25 Split)

You get 75%. The carrier is 25%. We keep it simple and trackable — with weekly settlements and the documentation needed for clean billing and faster pay cycles.

How the split works

  • 75% to the owner-operator on linehaul + approved accessorials
  • Weekly settlements with statement history
  • Accessorials (detention/layover/tonu) tracked and documented when applicable

Note: Any advances/fees are handled transparently and appear on the settlement statement.

How Freight Girlz improves the week

  • Rate negotiation based on lane, timing, and dwell risk
  • Reload planning to reduce deadhead
  • Paperwork flow that supports factoring and broker pay requirements
