Run steady contracted freight, not one-off broker loads
Accelerated runs OEM plant, port, and rail freight, as well as rental cars and secondary-market freight. We handle the customer side, so you keep your truck loaded with steady work. Here is how the owner-operator and lease-purchase program pays.
82% of the truck’s gross
Percentage pay on every load. You see the gross and you keep the large majority of it.
$2,500 sign-on bonus
Paid within your first month of activation, on top of your settlements.
Lease-purchase, no money down upfront
Want your own truck? More than 100 drivers have paid off their truck leases through our lease-purchase program, with no money down upfront to start.
We are always looking for talented car haulers to join our fleet.
We run nationwide with new OEM and used freight options. That keeps your loaded miles productive and your deadhead short. All experienced nine-car haulers are welcome to apply.

New to Car Hauling?
Car hauling is a specialty, so our trucks require real car-haul experience. If you are not there yet, we will tell you exactly what it takes to get there.
How to become a car hauler
Well equipped for the work
You run rigs pulled by Peterbilt, Western Star, Volvo, and Freightliner tractors, with the capacity to carry up to nine cars.
- Peterbilt, Western Star, Volvo, and Freightliner tractors
- Up to 9-car capacity, with new and used equipment available
- Cottrell and Boydstun trailers, with truck packages on most rigs
- Belly pans, trailer skirts, and bat wings
- GPS tracking and Electronic Proof of Delivery on every load
A carrier the automakers rely on, on freight that repeats
Accelerated has hauled finished vehicles for major automakers since 1999, when Tom Montgomery founded the company with a single truck. Today it pulls freight from approximately 70 locations nationwide. That scale means steady, dedicated freight for you, not feast or famine.
If your carrier shut down, you did not lose your skill
You still have the years of car-haul experience most carriers cannot find, and that puts you at the front of our line.
You already know how to load and secure a load of new vehicles. That means you fast-track here. No starting over. We run the same kind of work you are used to: OEM plant, port, and rail freight for major automakers. The freight is steady, and we move fast on experienced applicants.
