What Zach Meiborg (CEO) has to say

Owner-operators have spent three years getting squeezed — cheap freight, broken promises, companies treating them like a number. The $18,000 is us putting our money where our mouth is: if you held your business together through all that, you've earned a partner who invests in you.
