Legacy turns away a great deal of freight, to service our customers and handle the excess freight we need additional owner operators. To encourage owner operators to give Legacy a chance we are currently offering a $1,500 signing bonus to new owner operators. To receive the bonus an owner operator recieves $500 on first load and is required to work for 3 months. Payout on the bonus will be made after the 3 months of work.

Legacy pays 80% of the gross revenue on each load to the owner operator, rather than paying by the mile. This gives Legacy owner operators the opportunity to make much more than the average driver. Legacy has lift gate freight and other freight contracts that pay very well, 80% of that is passed on to the owner operator. When Legacy wins big the driver wins really big.

Legacy also passes on 80% of any fuel surcharge to the driver. Most of Legacy’s freight contracts include a fuel charge matrix. With Legacy’s fuel discounts the fuel surcharge often more than covers the increase in fuel, giving the owner operator the opportunity to make even more money.

Lift gate freight tends to be freight that requires multiple stops. A typical lift gate load includes 4 to 5 stops. Legacy’s contracts include additional pay for each stop. The additional pay is passed on to the owner operator. This can be a significant amount of money on lift gate loads.y.

Many trucking companies require owner operators to maintain an escrow account many times for $1,000. Legacy does NOT require owner operators to maintain an escrow account.

Settlement begins when the owner operator submits a trip packet to the dispatchers. The trip packet includes the proof of delivery, fuel receipts, and any other supporting paperwork for the trip and can be submitted in person, by fax, by email, through the mail, or by express shipment. If the trip packet is received in the dispatch office prior to 3:00 p.m. the trip will be settled and payment made the same day. Payment is made by direct deposit, so payment is in the owner operators bank account the following morning. Payment is actually made within 24 hours, however should a problem occur it may take up to 48 hours.
Legacy has never failed to pay a driver timely due to lack of funds. Legacy has cash reserves and makes a very serious commit to always have funds available to pay drivers within the 48 hour time period.

Legacy contracts with two fuel card companies: Fleet one and Tcheck to provide fuel cards to owner operators. Both offer fuel discounts however the Fleet One card provides deep discounts. Fuel expenses are deducted from the 80% payment for the trip at the time of settlement. This means if an owner operator chooses to use a company fuel card they do not have to have the cash to pay for fuel up front.

Legacy has a culture that respects owner operators as business men and women and considers the relationship as a relationship between business partners, not an employer to employee relationship. our contracted owner operators are business partnersOwner operators choose their freight and amount of time they want to spend working
