Asset-Based Trucking Services
BONDED, company-owned fleet with guaranteed capacity, professional drivers, and the reliability that only an asset-based carrier can deliver.
Asset-Based Trucking
We Own the Trucks. That Changes Everything.
In a freight market flooded with brokers, Fairway Logistics stands apart. We own and operate our fleet — which means when we commit to your load, it gets moved. Period.
The difference between asset-based trucking and broker-dependent shipping is the difference between certainty and hope. Brokers scramble to find available carriers; we dispatch our own trucks. Brokers add a margin on top of the carrier rate; we quote you direct. Brokers cannot control driver quality or equipment condition; we train our drivers and maintain our trucks to the highest standards.
Based in Mobile, Alabama, our fleet serves the entire Gulf Coast region and beyond with full truckload, less-than-truckload, dedicated route, and regional/OTR services. Whether you need a single spot shipment or a long-term dedicated solution, our asset-based model delivers the reliability, capacity, and pricing transparency that your supply chain demands.

The Difference
Asset-Based vs. Broker-Only: Why It Matters
Company-Owned Fleet
Unlike brokers who rely on third-party carriers, we own every truck in our fleet. This gives you guaranteed capacity, consistent equipment quality, and a direct relationship with the carrier hauling your freight.
Safety & Compliance
Our fleet is maintained to DOT standards with regular inspections. All drivers undergo rigorous qualification, continuous training, and drug testing. Our safety record exceeds industry benchmarks.
Capacity Guarantee
Brokers cannot guarantee capacity during peak seasons or tight markets. As an asset-based carrier, we commit to your loads and deliver — even when everyone else is scrambling for trucks.
No Broker Markup
When you ship with Fairway, you are paying the carrier directly. No middleman margin, no hidden fees, no surprise surcharges. Transparent, competitive pricing on every load.
Driver Quality
Our drivers are W-2 employees — not independent contractors. They are trained on your facilities, your freight requirements, and your expectations. Consistency you can count on.
Maintained Equipment
Every truck and trailer in our fleet undergoes scheduled preventive maintenance. Clean, well-maintained equipment means fewer breakdowns, fewer delays, and better representation at your dock.

Common Questions
Asset-Based Trucking FAQ
What does asset-based trucking mean?
Asset-based trucking means the company you hire actually owns and operates the trucks and trailers that haul your freight. This is in contrast to freight brokers, who match your load with a third-party carrier they do not control. With Fairway Logistics, our company-owned fleet gives you guaranteed capacity, consistent driver quality, direct accountability, and pricing without broker markups.
What types of trailers do you operate?
Our fleet includes 53-foot and 48-foot dry vans, flatbed trailers, step deck trailers, and container chassis. We can handle a wide range of freight types including palletized goods, building materials, machinery, steel, and containerized cargo. If you have specialized trailer needs, contact us and we will work to accommodate your requirements.
What is your service area for trucking?
Our primary service area covers the Gulf Coast region including Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, the Florida panhandle, and Georgia. For dedicated and OTR services, we cover the entire Southeast United States. We also offer cross-country lanes for customers with recurring volume on specific routes.
How do you ensure on-time delivery?
Our 98% on-time delivery rate is the result of proactive dispatch, GPS monitoring, driver communication, and contingency planning. Every load is tracked in real-time, and our operations team intervenes proactively if any delay risk is identified. Our asset-based model means we control the driver, the truck, and the schedule — giving us more control over outcomes than brokers can provide.
Do you offer dedicated trucking for regular lanes?
Yes. Our dedicated trucking service assigns a specific truck and driver to your regular shipping lanes. This is ideal for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers who ship frequently on the same routes. Dedicated service provides the highest level of consistency, and volume-based pricing typically reduces your per-load cost compared to spot market rates.
