Our Drivers and Owner-operators
For Fleet Global to be successful, our owner-operators have to be successful. We strive to help each and every contractor achieve his or her personal and financial objectives.
The Carrier Divisions of Fleet Global offer exciting opportunities to owner-operators and drivers, like our new FastLane Lease to Own™ Program. With our commitment to you, you will know that you have an ally with you at every turn in the road. Not only will we work hard to be sure that you book all the miles you want to travel, we will provide support services to help you manage your business.
That is the fundamental difference between Fleet Global other carriers. We recognize that you are a businessman or businesswoman - an entrepreneur in the truest sense. Your objectives, like ours, are to provide the best customer service and to be rewarded for your diligent efforts. As in any business, you need resources to help you meet these goals. We are there as your support team to offer solutions and help you to meet or exceed your operational and business objectives. Take a closer look at the Fleet Global strategy for your success.

Online Support for Fleet Global Contractors
Through the integrated Jigsaw Platform the support services listed below are available to our contractors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All services are geared to boost your success as an independent business operator.
Safety Services
We mentioned earlier about frequent E-mail reminders from Safety Joe. In addition, you can log in to the Fleet Global website for a host of safety information. Think of it as "continuing education" available on your schedule.
Load Availability
Not only do you have access to all loads and capacity available throughout the extensive Fleet Global Jigsaw Platform, we provide loads from shippers posted on popular load matching boards. Our dispatchers are always ready to help you pre-plan your movements.
Settlement Statements Always at Your Fingertips
With an advanced information management system, you will always have online access to your vital settlement information. Like a filing cabinet that travels with you, this provides you last week's settlement as well as the one from two months ago. Never worry about misplacing a statement again.
Email Services
With the Fleet Global web-based E-mail servers, you will always have access to messages from your family, friends, associates - and your team members at Fleet Global such as Safety Joe with his regular reminders and tips to promote an accident-free workplace.
Always in Touch
The Jigsaw™ Mobile Communications program integrates the Fleet Global online services with your hand-held mobile phone. Just because you can't log in to your laptop doesn't mean that you can't check your mail, send and receive automated messages, and with the click of a button, you have voice services with your dispatchers and fellow drivers.
Tax and Financial Planning
You are a business enterprise. But being on the road most of the time can keep you from attending to vital recordkeeping and service functions. Fleet Global's integration of settlement data with optional services from certified accounting professionals can reduce the problems associated with tax reporting... no need to worry about missing settlement statements or lost deduction receipts. Take charge of your financial well-being and plan your future.
