Program Terms
Here's exactly how the program works — no surprises.
20% Lease-On Fee
Our lease-on fee is 20% of gross load revenue. That fee includes dispatch — you don't pay separately for it.
What MC Transport Provides
We provide Liability and Cargo Insurance, Commercial Tags, and IFTA. The cost of these is deducted from your weekly load settlements — not billed upfront.
Weekly Pay Structure
You are paid weekly for your loads, minus deductions. If deductions exceed load revenue in a given week, the difference is billed to you.
Factoring Fees
If your loads are factored, the factoring fee comes off the top. MC Transport covers half of the factoring fee and you cover the other half — we split it equally.
ELD Available
Don't have an ELD? We can provide one for you.
Personal Use of Your Truck
You must carry your own liability insurance on your vehicle during personal use. When using your truck personally, the lease-on magnets must be removed from the sides of the truck. Magnets go back on when you return to duty.
