OUR CROSS-BORDER ADVANTAGE
Two fleets.
Multiple Dispatch Teams.
One connected network.
Our Canadian fleet and U.S. fleet give us a presence on both sides of the border—and a strong customer base in both countries.
Strength shared across the border
We bring our Canadian and American customer bases together to support both fleets and assist every dispatch division. Our customers are international and therefore rely on us to handle their freight needs in both countries.
UNITED STATES
Our U.S. fleet
Our American operation servicing our U.S. customers and the strength of expanded freight availability with the connected network of cross border Canadian bound loads.
For owner operators and fleet owners, that means being part of an operation where customer relationships and dispatch support work together across both countries.

Getting Into Your Own Van? What You Need To Know!
Canada to the U.S. And back.
Trips can take you to Illinois, Indiana, and Tennessee, or farther to Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. This is over-the-road work that requires flexibility and extended time away from home.
Being available for a range of trip lengths helps meet shipper and receiver needs and gives dispatch more options to keep your van productive.
YOUR MILES. YOUR ESTIMATE.

Change Miles driven under YOUR CHOICE to see your estimate update. All other values and assumptions are fixed. Use the Monthly currency selector to display the table in CAD or USD.
Your estimate uses the workbook’s Average revenue, settlement and load rates per mile. Comparison columns show fixed monthly benchmarks at 4.33 weeks. On a phone, choose a performance level below to view its figures. Choose Your choice to edit your miles. On larger screens, compare all levels side by side.

*The workbook leaves van payments, maintenance, tires, phone, accounting, plates and other personal costs blank. These are counted as $0 here and must be deducted from the displayed profit. Estimates are before HST and income tax; yearly figures simply multiply the monthly estimate by 12.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before you get started.
Do I need to own a Sprinter van already?
No. If you don’t have a qualifying Sprinter van, our turnkey startup program can help you explore getting set up as an owner operator and into your own van.
Is training provided?
Yes, as needed. Training covers shipper and receiver procedures, effective communication, paperwork, and operating practices that help you work with dispatch.
Will I be home every night?
This opportunity requires extended time away from home. Routes run from Canada throughout the United States and back, with both shorter and longer trips. Discuss your availability with our team.
What happens after I apply?
The application gives our team context about your profile before a conversation. We can then discuss the opportunity, your questions, and whether it fits your circumstances.
