Driver Availability and Assigned Equipment
OTW Logistics does not impose a company-controlled work calendar on independent drivers. Drivers are responsible for communicating when they are available to accept loads and when they expect to return to service after a period of unavailability.
An assigned company truck is reserved for a driver who maintains reasonable availability and communication sufficient to keep the equipment economically active. A driver is not required to accept a load or work on a specific day solely to retain contractor status. However, prolonged or repeatedly uncommunicated periods of unavailability may result in the company temporarily or permanently reassigning the truck to another qualified driver to cover the equipment’s continuing financing, insurance, and other fixed costs.
Vehicle reassignment is not a requirement that the driver work and is not a punishment for taking time away. It means only that exclusive use of a particular company vehicle is not guaranteed during extended unavailability.
Drivers must provide advance notice of planned unavailability when reasonably possible and communicate an expected return-to-service date. Legally required hours-of-service rest, equipment repairs, emergencies, and other protected circumstances are handled separately.
Drivers may request loads on holidays or other preferred working days, subject to customer demand, equipment availability, safety requirements, and hours-of-service compliance. Load availability and weekly revenue are not guaranteed.
The company-equipment revenue-share program applies to eligible drivers operating company-provided equipment. New owner-operator compensation follows the full-service or self-dispatch structure shown above under separate contractor-equipment terms. Compensation, equipment assignment, claims, deductions, settlement calculations, insurance charges, dispatch responsibilities, and availability expectations are governed by the applicable signed written agreement. Nothing on this page guarantees employment, contractor classification, a particular truck, a minimum number of loads, or a specific amount of weekly revenue.
