Interview prep

Fit summary

Best fit if you already run legal CDL-A equipment and want freight through a national LTL/expedited brand (FWRD) rather than pure company-driver payroll. Recent press shows both growth narratives and customer/stock risk—treat that as business context, not a pay promise.

Day in the role

As a CDL-A owner-operator driver for Forward Air out of the Storrs / Tolland County area, expect pre-trip inspections, load securement, HOS-compliant dispatch, and linehaul or expedited freight moves under company freight networks. You run your own power unit: fuel, maintenance windows, and paperwork (BOL, ELD, settlements) sit with you between pickups and deliveries.
