Lease Program
Towne Air Freight has a Lease to Purchase program available for qualified drivers who do not already own a truck. Interested drivers must qualify for both Towne Air Freight and the leasing company to be involved in this program. We will take your payments right out of your pay settlements and send them to the lease purchase company. If you choose, there will also be a certain amount per mile deducted from your settlement and put it into a maintenance account that is to be utilized for all preventative maintenance on the truck.Used or new trucks for lease
You will have the choice on whether you want a used or new truck. Since we will no longer need company trucks, we will be selling our fleet to one of the leasing companies who will sell them back to the drivers. These are used trucks, all 3 yrs old or newer and already have the Towne Air Freight logo on them. If you prefer a new truck there are a couple different options, depending on which leasing company you go through. return to topLocal pick up and delivery routes
The position itself will entail, you as the independent contractor, having a certain zone that you will be required to service on a daily basis, Monday through Friday. You will be home nightly, as you will not be traveling far from the terminal. Towne Air Freight already has a large customer base to which you will be required to provide world-class customer service. The pay for these positions will largely depend on the distance and the amount of freight you have on your truck-so obviously, the better you service the customers in your area, the more they will want you to come back, therefore the more money you will make.Income potential is unlimited. You are not limited to one truck and some routes will require the same owner to have more than one truck leased on with us for that zone. For instance, a zone may require both a straight truck and a daycab tractor to service that area. These zones will include enough revenue to make payments on both trucks and pay another driver that the owner would be responsible for finding and maintaining. As an independent contractor, it is important for you to understand that it is your business and your responsibility to maintain that business, including your employees and/or contract labor.
Evening Linehauls
Since linehaul drivers will also be ICs, this is an excellent opportunity for you to maximize the earnings of your daycab tractor. We are highly encouraging owners to find a driver for their truck to run the evening linehauls or vice versa. return to topPay
Pay will be based on several different factors, including weight and distance. A single truck can expect to average $1800-$2000/wk before expenses, depending on what kind of truck you are running. If you are part of our Lease to Purchase program you can expect to bring home $1000-$1200/wk on average for a daycab, $950-$1100/wk average for a straight truck, after expenses. Expenses include truck payment, fuel, maintenance, plates & insurances. Basically everything you need to run your business.Linehauls could be anywhere from 200-500 miles a day, 5 days a week and include a fuel surcharge.
It is important for you to understand that you are responsible for your plates, insurances, taxes etc., however, Towne Air Freight has secured relationships with third party vendors that are here to support you as a business owner, if needed. Please see our Business Support.
