How often can I get through home?
We know that getting home regularly is very important to our owner-operators. Our dispatchers aggressively solicit our customers in order to pre-book the best load that meets your needs. Based on your individual preference, our dispatch will get you through home as often as possible. Typically, if you live in one of our traffic lanes, you can expect to get through home about every 7 to 10 days.

Who furnishes the insurance?
Dynamic furnishes cargo and auto liability insurance at no charge to the Owner-Operator. Physical Damage and Bobtail insurance are available through Dynamic at attractive fleet rates with no deposit required.

Does Dynamic Require Worker's Compensation insurance for Owner-Operators?
As an Owner-Operator you do not need to provide Worker's Compensation insurance. However, if you utilize a driver who is not party to the lease, we require proof of Worker's Compensation insurance for that driver to be on file at Dynamic.

Am I required to use a Dynamic base plate?
You may use any current IRP base plate as long as that plate is in the Contractor's name and is registered for all states. If you do not have your own base plate, we can get you an Illinois IRP base plate in Dynamic's name.

What other permits are required?
You'll need a Dynamic Single-State Registration Card as well as various Fuel Permits and Decals. Dynamic's permit department will secure these items for you.

What type of equipment is required?
All equipment must be late model.
Trailers must be 53' X 102" reefers with ribbed, aluminum floors. They must be capable of maintaining zero (0) degrees F or below. Trailers must also be equipped with an air chute. All equipment must be properly maintained and be adequately equipped to handle mountain terrain. Equipment must also pass a Federal DOT inspection.

How much experience is required?
We require a minimum of 3 years driving experience, which includes at least 1 year of reefer experience. Drivers must be at least 25 years old.

Am I required to take a drug screen and/or physical?
You will be required to take a prequalification drug screen. The total cost of the drug screen is paid for by Dynamic. If you have a current verifiable DOT physical, then you may only have to take the drug screen. For Owner-Operators who are leased to Dynamic, recertifications of physicals and "random" drug/alcohol screens are paid for by Dynamic.

Can my spouse ride with me?
We can authorize spouses to ride with Owner-Operators for specified periods of time. A release letter must be completed and carried in the truck.

How long does it take to get going?
It takes approximately 4 hours in our office and about 1 hour at the clinic to get your Physical and/or Drug Screen. We can normally get Drug Screen results in 24 hours:
