OWNER-OPERATORS & CARRIERS

You Drive.
We Handle
Everything Else.

CrestHaul is a licensed freight broker that does the heavy lifting — invoicing, carrier packets, shipper updates, market rate monitoring, and addon charge recovery. Your job is to deliver the load. Our job is to make sure you get paid right for it.

CrestHaul earns a broker margin from shippers. Carriers are never charged a fee — not per load, not monthly, not ever.

A broker that actually works for carriers

Most brokers book the load and disappear. CrestHaul stays in it — managing the shipper, monitoring the market, and making sure you get every dollar you're owed.

🧾

We Build Your Carrier Packet

Don't waste time assembling compliance documents. CrestHaul creates your complete carrier packet — insurance certificates, authority, agreements — and keeps it current so you're always load-ready.

📄

Invoicing Done For You

When a load delivers, your driver submits the BOL/POD by text or through Rose Rocket — whichever fits your operation. We create the invoice, submit it, and send a copy to your admin. No paperwork, no chasing.

2 ways to submit your POD:
📲 Text: Send load # + photo to our dispatch number
🚀 Rose Rocket: Upload directly if you're using RR
📡

ELD Tracking — No Check-In Calls

When your drivers run ELD on our loads, we pull location automatically. No mid-haul interruptions to ask "where are you?" — we keep the shipper updated without bothering your driver on the road.

💬

We Handle All Shipper Communication

Pickup confirmations, in-transit ETAs, delay notices, delivery confirmation — CrestHaul manages all of it directly with the shipper. Your drivers can focus on the road without fielding status calls.

💰

Addon Charge Recovery

We review every load for detention, TONU, layover, and accessorial entitlements. If there's money on the table that a carrier is owed, we find it and we go after it — you shouldn't have to fight for what you've earned.

📊

Constant Market Rate Monitoring

CrestHaul continuously monitors current lane rates so we're never pricing your services below market. You won't be underbid — we make sure the rate you're offered reflects what the market actually pays.

Built for independent operators

We specialize in owner-operators and small fleets running the Southwest. If you have authority and a truck, we can put it to work.

🚚

Hot Shot Carriers

Running a pickup and gooseneck or flatbed? We specialize in brokering hot shot loads across the Permian Basin and TX/OK/NM markets — time-sensitive freight, oilfield loads, and LTL opportunities.

Semi-Truck Operators

Dry van, reefer, or flatbed — we work with Class 8 operators hauling across regional and long-haul lanes. Get loaded faster with a dedicated broker sourcing freight that fits your equipment and preferred lanes.

We know your freight

CrestHaul focuses on the industries that drive the Southwest economy. We know the freight, the facilities, and the expectations — you won't be explaining your load to someone who's never heard of a BOP unit.

🛢️

Oil & Gas / Oilfield

BOP stacks, frac equipment, pipe, production units, and chemical totes. We specialize in Permian Basin oilfield freight — time-sensitive, heavy, and non-standard loads are our home turf.

🏗️

Construction & Infrastructure

Steel beams, rebar, precast concrete, heavy equipment, and site materials. We match oversize and flatbed capacity to construction timelines where delays cost money.

⚙️

Manufacturing & Industrial

Machinery, raw materials, finished goods, and plant-to-plant transfers. We serve manufacturers who need reliable capacity without managing a carrier list themselves.

Energy & Utilities

Transformers, generators, wind components, and solar equipment. We handle oversized energy freight that requires permits, route surveys, and specialized carriers.

🌾

Agriculture

Equipment moves, grain, fertilizer, and ag chemicals across the Southwest. Seasonal surge capacity for harvest and planting windows when every truck matters.

🏭

Distribution & Wholesale

Dry van, reefer, and LTL moves for distributors and wholesalers running regular regional lanes. Volume shippers get consistent capacity and preferred rate treatment.

YOUR BIGGEST ADVANTAGE WITH CRESTHAUL

More driving. Less office work.

Most brokers book the load and disappear. CrestHaul stays in it — handling the admin work that pulls you off the road and costs you money. This is free. Every carrier in our network gets it.

🧾

Zero paperwork

Driver texts us the BOL/POD photo or uploads through Rose Rocket. We invoice, submit, and follow up. You never touch a fax or chase a rate con.

📞

No shipper calls

We handle all shipper communication — pickup confirmations, ETAs, delay notices. Your driver stays focused on the road.

💰

Faster billing

Invoices submitted within 24 hours of POD. Quick Pay available at 1% — paid within 2 business days, no commitment required.

📋

Compliance handled

We build and maintain your carrier packet — COI, authority letter, W-9. Always current, always ready for any broker or shipper that asks.

📡

No check-in calls

ELD tracking keeps shippers informed automatically. Your driver won't get interrupted mid-haul asking "where are you?"

🔍

We chase your money

Detention, TONU, layover — we identify accessorial charges you're owed and go after them. You focus on the next load.

Carrier requirements

We work with owner-operators who have their own authority. If you're leased to a carrier, contact us — we can still help.

  • Active MC / DOT Authority Must be active and in good standing with FMCSA
  • Valid CDL (Class A or applicable) Or valid driver's license for hot shot operators
  • Cargo & Liability Insurance Minimum $100K cargo, $1M liability — standard broker requirements

  • Truck in Good Working Order Reliable equipment means reliable loads and strong broker relationships

With other brokers I was always chasing paperwork, calling to check on rates, and wondering if detention was going to get paid. CrestHaul handles all of it — they built my carrier packet, my driver texts in the BOL when he delivers, and they've caught addon charges I would have missed. I just run the loads.

You'll get paid. Here's exactly how.

Carriers are right to be skeptical of brokers. Here's the full picture on payment, paperwork, and support at CrestHaul.

📅

Net 30 — Clock Starts at Delivery

Standard payment is Net 30 from the date we receive your signed BOL and POD. The clock starts the moment your driver submits delivery docs — by text or Rose Rocket — not when we get around to it.

Factoring Quick Pay — Paid in 2 Business Days

Need cash faster? Our Factoring Quick Pay option gets you paid within 2 business days of delivery. No long-term commitment, no hidden charges, no minimum volume requirement.

📄

95% of Paperwork Processed in 24 Hours

When your driver submits the BOL and POD — by text or Rose Rocket — our team processes carrier paperwork within 24 hours of receipt. No chasing, no waiting weeks for someone to "find" your documents.

🧑‍💼

Real People — Not a Bot

You get a direct contact at CrestHaul — not a ticket system. Call, text, or email when you have a load question and get a real answer from someone who knows your account.

💵

Accessorial Recovery — We Fight for You

Detention, TONU, layover, driver assist — we review every load for money you may be owed and go after it directly with the shipper. You shouldn't have to fight for what you've earned.

⚠️

Cargo Claims Managed for You

If something goes wrong on a load, we manage the claims process with the shipper's team and keep you informed — without putting you in the middle of a billing dispute.

Everything you need to know

Do I need my own MC authority?

Yes — you need your own active MC carrier authority. CrestHaul holds separate FMCSA freight broker authority (MC-56480811). As your broker, we find loads and connect you with shippers. You haul as the carrier of record under your own MC — we do not operate under your authority and we are not a dispatcher. Both authorities are separate and required.

How does my driver submit the BOL/POD?

Two ways — driver uses whichever fits their workflow. Text: Send the load number + a photo of the signed BOL/POD to our dispatch number (phone must be registered in the carrier portal first). Rose Rocket: Upload directly if you're running RR. Once we receive the documents, we create the invoice, submit it, and send you a copy. You don't touch the paperwork.

How does Factoring Quick Pay work?

Standard carrier payment is Net 30 from receipt of BOL/POD. With CrestHaul's Factoring Quick Pay option, you receive funds within 2 business days of delivery confirmation — no long-term commitment, no hidden charges.

Do you monitor ELD tracking?

Yes. When your drivers run ELD on CrestHaul loads, we pull location data automatically to keep shippers updated. Your drivers won't get check-in calls from us mid-haul — we handle shipper communication without interrupting the road.

What happens if I'm owed detention or TONU?

We review every load for detention, TONU, layover, and other accessorial charges you may be entitled to. If the money is there, we go after it. You shouldn't have to fight for what you've earned.

Can I turn down loads?

Absolutely. We present loads to you and you decide. We never book a load without your approval. You're always in control of what your truck hauls, where you go, and what rate you accept.

Let us handle the business side. You handle the road.
