Team DriveAway is non-force dispatch. However, we do require all drivers to transport 4-5 loads for us per month. If a driver goes 2 consecutive months without meeting this quota, their contract could be put up for cancellation.

Each day, Monday through Friday, a driver's dispatcher will email them the load board. All loads are first come first serve. It is then up to the driver to look over the load board and contact their dispatcher to get assigned to whatever load(s) they are interested in. The Driver must get themselves to and from drop off location on time once they are signed up for the load. Team DriveAway does not arrange or pay for any transportation to or from pick-up or drop off locations.

All drivers are responsible for their own transport to and from pick-up and drop-off location as well as food, lodging, and entertainment while on the road.

Depending on division a driver is contracted for, you may also be responsible for fuel for transport and must leave at least ¼ tank of fuel in truck at drop-off location. The only compensation for fuel during transport is the fuel surcharge fee that is added on to the driver's pay out for each load.

Driver's must have verifiable experience in order to drive for Team DriveAway in any of our driving divisions.

However, if a driver comes into our Singles Division and they have their CDL Class A with Doubles/Triples endorsement they are eligible for being trained for our DECK divisions after they have successfully run 3 – 6 months in our Singles division and are in good standing with the company.
