Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers for Elite CDL-A Professionals.

Is this a lease-purchase program?
No. We are the ultimate lease-purchase alternative. Lease-purchase programs are designed to keep you in debt. At Unitus Logistics, you get the pay, freedom, and respect of an Owner-Operator without the financial terror of a truck note. We own the Cascadia; you run your business.
Do you require a down payment or offer "walk-away" leases?
We are not a lease-purchase company, so there is no money down required to buy a truck. Stop searching for predatory zero down lease purchase programs or walk-away leases. With Unitus, we own the asset and cover the maintenance. You simply drive the Cascadia as an independent professional and take home clean settlements.
I am a company driver. Can I transition to a 1099 contractor with Unitus?
Yes. We are the perfect bridge for experienced W2 company drivers looking for first-time 1099 truck driver opportunities. We supply the power-only late-model tractor, allowing you to run your own business safely without the massive risk of a traditional bank loan.
Do you offer "No Forced Dispatch" for CDL-A drivers?
Absolutely. As a 1099 Independent Contractor, you have 100% total freedom. You choose your loads, your lanes, and your home time. You are the boss of the cab. We exclusively partner with carriers who respect the no forced dispatch model.
What areas do you hire for? Is this local or OTR?
We partner with elite professionals for Nationwide OTR (Over-The-Road) opportunities. Because our late-model Freightliner Cascadias are outfitted with APUs, fridges, and inverters, they are built specifically for OTR comfort and profitability.
Am I paid on actual miles or short-route?
You are paid $0.65 CPM on all Practical Miles, loaded or empty. We believe in the "Zero-Short Settlement." No mystery math, no mega-carrier "admin fees"—just clean, transparent weekly deposits.
