How we may be paid, in plain words

Factoring: RTS

When you request a factoring quote through our form, we pass your request to our factoring partner, RTS (www.rtsinc.com), who contacts you with a quote. We may be paid for that referral. You are never obliged to accept the quote, and using RTS is never a condition of our dispatch service: we dispatch for carriers who factor with anyone, or not at all. When our guides compare factoring companies, RTS is judged by the same published terms as the others, with this relationship disclosed.

Drug and alcohol testing: Vertical Identity

Some pages link to Vertical Identity, a DOT drug and alcohol testing consortium. If you enroll through our link, we may earn a referral fee. We only show this to carriers whose drivers need a CDL, because drivers of non-CDL trucks are not covered by the DOT testing rules in 49 CFR Part 382.

Breakdown protection: TruckClub

Some calculator results and fuel cost pages link to TruckClub, which sells truck warranty and breakdown protection plans. If you buy a plan through our link, we may earn a referral fee. TruckClub plans are not insurance, and they don't replace liability or physical damage coverage. Check eligibility, limits and waiting periods on TruckClub's current pages.

What doesn't change

• Your price with any partner is the same whether or not you use our link.
• Partner links go through a /go/ address on our site, marked as sponsored, so you can always tell when a link is a partner link.
• No partner pays for placement in our guides, and no partner sees or edits our content before it is published. How we research is on our editorial policy page.
• We don't run a referral program for carriers, and we don't pay anyone to send us carriers.
