What Our Drivers Say About Us
Read honest feedback from flatbed and Stepdeck OTR drivers currently running on our dispatch.
"I've been driving flatbeds for 8 years, and Safety Way is the first carrier that actually delivers on its detention promises. If a broker pays layover or detention, 100% of it shows up on my weekly 1099 settlement. Dispatch is honest, doesn't force NYC runs, and lets me work."
Flatbed Veteran (Chicago, IL)
"Driving the 2026 Freightliner Cascadia Stepdeck is night and day. The truck is comfortable, has a working fridge, and automatic transmission makes the OTR miles breeze by. The sliding tarp system on the Stepdeck makes loading/unloading fast. High weekly mileage is always consistent."

"As a 1099 contractor, I want miles and no fluff. Safety Way keeps me loaded and pays me $3,500 gross average. MVR inspections are rewarded, and dispatch treats me like a professional. The home schedule is flexible; they got me home every weekend when my route aligned."
