Why Partner With Oberlin

Built for the
Business Owner.

You bought your truck to be your own boss. We built our operation around operators who think that way.

No Forced Dispatch

You approve every load before it's confirmed. If a lane doesn't work for you — home time, deadhead, rate — you decline it. No penalties, no pressure, no attitude.

48-Hour Quick Pay

Don't wait 30–45 days on your own money. Submit your paperwork and get paid within 48 hours — no factoring fees, no runaround, just fast settlement every time.

Consistent Freight

We maintain dedicated lanes and broker relationships across the Southeast and Midwest so your truck isn't sitting. Load coverage 5–6 days a week with flexible scheduling.

Fuel Card — Real Discounts

Access to our fuel network discount card at major truck stops nationwide. Save $0.30–$0.50 per gallon compared to retail pump prices. Your savings, every fill-up.

Real People, Real Access

Dispatch is available and responsive — not a voicemail. When there's a problem on the road, you get a human on the line fast. Small operation, direct communication.

Transparent Rate Structure

88% of gross to you — always. No hidden deductions, no creative accounting. You see the rate sheet before the load is booked, and your settlement matches it.

Pay & Rate Structure

Straight Numbers.
No Fine Print.

Owner operators keep 88% of gross on every load. Here's how the full picture adds up.

What Top Operators Gross

Owner operators running 10,000–12,000 miles/month on our lanes average $180,000–$350,000 gross annually — before expenses, which vary by truck and operation.

Reefer operators handling temperature-sensitive freight consistently land at the top of that range, with stronger rates and less deadhead on dedicated lanes.

About Oberlin LLC

Small Carrier.
Big Respect for
Owner Operators.

"WE FIND THE FREIGHT. YOU RUN YOUR BUSINESS."

Oberlin LLC is a Georgia-based carrier that works with a select group of owner operators who want to run their business without the drama. We're not trying to be a mega-carrier — we're trying to be the best carrier you've ever leased to.

Small operation means you're not a number in a queue. You talk to the same dispatcher. You see the same rate transparency every settlement. Problems get solved same-day, not same-week.

Your Authority, Your Choice

We support operators who want to build under our authority while they grow their own, and experienced operators who just want quality loads. No lock-in, no long-term contract required to start.

Compliance & Support

We keep the back-office side straight — proper contracts, compliant insurance verification, clean paperwork on every load. You focus on driving; we keep it legal and simple.

Safety Over Schedule

No carrier wants a breakdown or an incident. We never pressure you to run unsafe hours or push through bad conditions. You make the call — we back it.

Growing With Our Partners

As we grow freight volume, top operators get first access to premium lanes, better rates, and additional truck opportunities. We grow when you grow.
