What We Haul

Two programs. One standard.

Whether you pull a dry van or chain down steel, we keep you loaded with freight that fits your equipment and your lanes.

Dry Van

The backbone of American freight. General commodities across all 48 states with dense, repeatable lanes and minimal wait at the dock.

  • Consistent no-touch freight on major lanes
  • Drop & hook opportunities with steady shippers
  • Ideal for operators who want predictable miles

Flatbed

For operators who know their straps from their chains. Open-deck freight pays a premium — and we make sure that premium lands in your settlement.

  • Premium rates for skilled, safety-minded operators
  • Steel, lumber, machinery, and building materials
  • Tarping and securement experience rewarded

Why NorthForge

Built like the name says.

We started NorthForge because owner operators deserve a carrier that treats them like partners, not truck numbers. Everything we do is forged around one idea: your truck, your business, our backing.

Transparent Settlements

Every load, every deduction, itemized in plain numbers. You see what the load pays before you haul it — no hidden fees, no surprises on settlement day.

No Forced Dispatch

It is your truck and your business. We keep freight in front of you, but you decide which loads you run and when you go home.

Steady, Vetted Freight

We work with established brokers and direct shippers, so your calendar stays full with lanes that actually pay — not deadhead lotteries.

Weekly Pay

Settlements processed every week with direct deposit. Optional quick-pay gets money moving even faster when you need it.

Real Dispatch, Real People

A dispatcher who knows your name, your truck, and your preferred lanes — reachable around the clock, not a ticket queue.

Compliance Handled

Run under our MC and DOT authority. We take care of safety, permits, and paperwork so you can keep the wheels turning.

Your truck is the hard part. You already have it.

Bring your tractor and your work ethic — we bring the authority, the freight, and the back office. Apply in two minutes and a recruiter will call you the same business day.
