RXO is a truck broker that took over Coyote Logistics, and its carriers book freight in the RXO Connect app after registering through Highway. Its sign-up form asks for at least three months in business as a carrier, $1 million in auto liability and $100,000 in cargo coverage. Standard pay arrives 30 days after RXO receives your completed invoice, with no fee.

Best for
Carriers past their first three months who want same-day quick pay

Our take

Once you're past your first few months, RXO lets you book loads in an app. Same-day quick pay at 2.5% helps when fuel and payroll can't wait a month, but carriers who factor stay on standard pay.

Setup starts in Highway, so finish that profile before you open RXO Connect. Quick pay and factoring both run through TriumphPay, which is worth setting up early.

Pros

  • Same-day quick pay for carriers who don't factor
  • Standard pay carries no fee
  • RXO Extra adds a fuel card and vendor discounts

Cons

  • Brand-new authorities wait out the in-business minimum first
  • Its general liability and safety rules aren't published
