Transforming the Trucking Industry

Welcome to Carriers United, an organization dedicated to addressing the critical challenges faced by the trucking industry. Our primary mission is to eliminate the industry's overreliance on freight brokers, empowering carriers to take direct control of their operations and profits. By fostering collaboration and creating innovative solutions, Carriers United strives to build a future where carriers lead the industry with independence and strength.

The True Commodity in Trucking: A Carrier-Centric Perspective

In the trucking industry, the true commodity isn’t the trucks themselves but the carriers and drivers who operate them. Trucks are tools—machines that can be bought, sold, or replaced as needed. However, skilled carriers and highly capable drivers are irreplaceable assets that cannot be mass-produced or replicated by any machine. They bring expertise, dedication, and a human touch to an industry that depends on reliability, efficiency, and safety. These individuals are the backbone of the trucking world, ensuring that goods are transported effectively across the nation and playing a pivotal role in sustaining the supply chain.

Unfortunately, the industry is plagued by intermediaries, such as freight brokers, who often act as middlemen siphoning financial resources away from carriers and drivers. Brokers exploit the system, taking significant portions of the revenue that rightfully belongs to the carriers who bear the burden of fuel costs, maintenance, and operational risks. This parasitic relationship undermines the financial stability of the trucking industry and devalues the essential work performed by carriers and drivers. By addressing this imbalance and empowering carriers to operate independently, the industry can focus on rewarding the true power behind trucking—the people who make it all possible.

Innovative Parking Solutions for Truckers (15' Wide Parking Spaces)

Carriers United vows to use its profits to create spacious, free parking solutions for the trucking industry, aiming to eliminate the need for costly nightly parking. This pervasive issue has arisen due to a lack of government attention and intervention, allowing predatory practices by companies to thrive. While the government bears partial blame for failing to address this growing problem, the true culprits are the greedy companies that exploit drivers, forcing them to pay excessive fees for basic necessities like parking. This systemic abuse has gone unchecked for far too long, leaving carriers and drivers to shoulder unnecessary financial burdens.

Do brokers care about solving this problem? Absolutely not. At Carriers United, we do, and we are determined to fix it. Every load that carriers run through Carriers United contributes directly to funding the free parking infrastructure we are committed to building. By reinvesting our profits into initiatives that directly benefit carriers and drivers, we aim to eradicate this unfair expense and provide the support and respect that trucking professionals deserve. Together, we can create a better, more equitable industry for all.

Breaking Free from Factoring: Financial Independence for Carriers

Carriers United is committed to empowering carriers by utilizing its own revenue to pay carriers within five days, completely free of charge. This initiative, combined with our $150 fee limit, will significantly enhance carriers' ability to increase their revenue while eliminating burdensome expenses that often hinder their profitability. By streamlining payments and reducing unnecessary costs, Carriers United aims to create a sustainable and financially viable future for carriers, enabling them to focus on growth and operational efficiency without being weighed down by excessive fees.

Have you ever heard of a broker wanting to help carriers in a meaningful way that doesn't selfishly benefit themselves? NO! Brokers have long positioned themselves as necessary intermediaries, yet their actions often prioritize their own profits over the well-being of carriers. Carriers United challenges this status quo by prioritizing the needs of carriers and eliminating the exploitative practices that have plagued the industry for too long. Our mission is not just to level the playing field but to ensure carriers thrive without being undermined by those who take without giving back.

The Future of Trucking: Technology and Collaboration

Carriers United takes a balanced yet critical stance on the technologies emerging from both government mandates and industry innovations. While some advancements undeniably enhance safety and efficiency, they often come at a steep cost to truck owners. These costs not only manifest during the initial purchase but also in ongoing maintenance and repair, where breakdowns can quickly escalate into expenses of several thousand dollars. Manufacturers compound this issue by introducing aesthetic features that serve little functional purpose but significantly inflate the cost of operation. For instance, one prominent manufacturer’s replacement OEM front bumper exceeds $5,000—a glaring example of the financial strain imposed on carriers under the guise of innovation.

This kind of pricing and feature inflation reflects a broader trend of gouging within the trucking industry, a concern that Carriers United is deeply attuned to. Recognizing the financial burdens these practices impose on carriers, the organization has been developing actionable strategies to address the issue. From advocating for cost transparency to exploring alternative solutions that reduce reliance on overpriced OEM parts, Carriers United is committed to curbing the unnecessary costs burdening the trucking community. By pushing back against these practices while embracing genuinely beneficial advancements, the organization strives to strike a balance that prioritizes the well-being and sustainability of truckers.
