Summit Value Logistics
A performance-sensitive company start. Good on-time runs pay better, but the guaranteed floor is smaller. Dispatch leans toward longer and higher-value lanes. The carrier still supplies equipment, authority, insurance, fuel, and repairs.

How company pay works
Each load pays the larger of two amounts: the wage floor, which is the stop pay plus the per-mile floor for every mile driven, or the pay share, a percentage of what the load itself pays. Delivering on time adds the on-time bonus on top.
Dispatch trust pays as well. A reputation above where you started earns up to 6 percent more of the load's pay, the full amount at a reputation of 100.
When dispatch sends you empty to another city, that reposition pays 60 percent of your per-mile floor. Bobtailing to a nearby city on your own pays nothing.
What the carrier covers
The carrier supplies the tractor, fuel, repairs, trailer, authority, and insurance. Your settlements are your wages and bonuses.
Equipment as you level
You do not choose a tractor. The carrier assigns one from the fleet tier your level has earned:
- Level 1 and up: yard standard
- Level 4 and up: regional fleet
- Level 9 and up: long-haul fleet
- Level 13 and up: premium fleet
- Level 17 and up: first pick of the yard
A poor driving record, a license problem, or money you owe can hold your equipment back below the tier your level earns until it clears.
Carrier-sponsored training
Your carrier pays for these courses when you reach the level:
- Level 2: flatbed securement and refrigerated certificates
- Level 3: heavy-haul certificate
- Level 4: high-value certificate
- Level 16: tank vehicle endorsement
You can pay for one of these courses yourself to hold it sooner.
Doubles, hazmat, LCV, manual transmission, and TWIC port card are never sponsored by level; only their own course earns them.
Becoming an owner-operator
From level 18 you can buy in as an owner-operator, leased on to your carrier, or stay a company driver by choice. An owner-operator owns the truck and pays its running costs.
A career can also start as an owner-operator from day one, leased on to Northstar Freight Lines.
