Q How does HWY Pro save owner-operators time? A We want you to spend your time driving, not arranging loads. If you are like most owner-operators, you keep a Rolo- dex of sixty bro- kers and shippers and spend hours of your precious time at home on the phone trying to set up hauls for your next eight days. And once you hit the road, you typically don't know where your back-haul is coming from. You waste time sitting at truck stops waiting for a load to cover your fuel to get home. Meanwhile, your family waits and waits. On top of that stress, you must manage paperwork and invoicing. HWY Pro is designed to take that o your plate so you can keep your wheels rolling. Q What features set HWY Pro apart? A Because HWY Pro is built by trucking professionals, it's custom designed to be user-friendly as you plan trips and manage your time. New loads and load updates are done in real time. As soon as we get a new load, you can claim it. HWY Pro freight specialists work hard to get claimed loads nego- tiated and secured for you. This gives you time to plan your week in the most e cient and pro table way possible. We are here for the owner-operator and want you to drive more, with better pay and less costly downtime. Q What if I have a dedicated route? A If you're a driver whoruns the same route day in and day out, we've got you covered, too. Stop for your 15-minute break and easily access HWY Pro. You can log a fuel stop and claim a sup- plementaryload from your next destination. We meet you where you are and wherever you like to drive. Your home base is always saved in HWY Pro, and your next destination is active on your dash- board. So, whether you're looking to get back home or roll across the country, you're only a couple clicks away. Q What paperwork and pay bene ts does the app o er? A When you hit the road with HWY Pro, you've secured loads that our freight specialist claimed and negotiated for you. You're not worried about paper- work because your BOL is digital and kept securely in our database for you to access whenever you need it. Time-stamped signatures are done electronically on your device, and then emailed auto- matically for your records and the records of the shipper. We o er these services for no charge within our app. HWY Pro just wants you to focus on driving. We have also addressed the di culty of get- ting paid in a timely manner. Your payments are delivered directly to your bank account, and you get to choose your own payment op- tion. These options are either the 24-36-hour quick pay or the more traditional ve-day pay schedule. Q When will this app be avail- able? A We are launching on Aug. 23 at the Great American Truck- ing Show in Dallas, Texas. If you are not attending the show you can sign up for free on our website and be up and running that day.
