Two ways to roll with fair miles.
Lease onto our authority, or keep your own MC and let us dispatch you. Same team, same freight — your choice.
Lease on with our authority
For owner-operators who don't want the paperwork, insurance, or compliance headache. We handle everything — plates, permits, and back-office, so you just drive.
Leasing on with Fair Miles is built for drivers who want strong freight access without carrying the full burden of authority management. We support your operation with dispatch, compliance coordination, and the back-office structure needed to stay moving.
You keep your focus on driving and revenue while our team helps manage the details that slow independent operators down — from paperwork and onboarding to lane planning and support.
- Operate under Fair Miles authority
- Back-office support for compliance and settlements
- Dedicated dispatch help with Midwest and OTR freight
- Fast onboarding designed to get you hauling quickly
Dispatch under your own MC
For carriers who already have their own authority and just want loads booked and rates negotiated. Keep full control of your business, we handle the phones.
Our dispatch-only service is designed for carriers who already have their own authority but want a sharper booking and negotiating team behind them. You stay fully in control of your company while we work to keep your truck loaded and profitable.
From sourcing better freight to handling broker communication and route coordination, we act as an extension of your business so you can focus on service, scheduling, and scaling.
- Keep your own MC and USDOT
- Load sourcing, booking, and rate negotiation
- Broker communication handled by our dispatch team
- Weekly workflow support with transparent flat-fee structure
From application to your first load.
Whichever option you pick, the onboarding runs the same tight process — built so you're moving freight within days, not weeks.
