Interview prep

Fit summary

Best for experienced CDL-A drivers who already own or can operate a tractor and want over-the-road work with a major freight brand headquartered around expedited/LTL networks—not for remote office seekers or drivers without owner-operator readiness.

Day in the role

As a CDL-A owner-operator on OTR for Forward Air, the day centers on running your own tractor under company freight: pre-trip inspection, load securement, HOS planning, and long-haul delivery of expedited or LTL-related freight. You coordinate dispatch and customer windows, manage fuel and maintenance as the equipment owner, and keep paperwork and ELD logs clean between multi-state legs.
