FRAYT takes gig drivers in their own personal vehicles, and it signs box truck carriers that hold an active motor carrier permit and DOT number. Sign-up happens in the FRAYT driver app, with box carriers also going through Highway during review. Box trucks need $100,000 in cargo, and a box truck over 10,000 GVW also needs $1 million in auto liability. Smaller vehicles follow your home state's minimum auto limits. Pay runs through the Branch app.
- Best for
- Van drivers using their own vehicles and box truck carriers with a DOT number
Our take
Cargo vans, sprinter vans and small box trucks have the easiest path, since your state's minimum auto limits cover them. Box trucks take more paperwork, starting with your own permit and DOT number.
On box trucks, FRAYT wants a dock high box, prefers a lift gate and suggests carrying a pallet jack. Before your first run, ask how long Branch payments take to land.
Pros
- Gig drivers and box truck carriers can both sign up
- Small vehicles run on your state's minimum auto limits
Cons
- $100,000 cargo on any box truck, plus $1 million in liability above 10,000 GVW
- A dock high box is required for box trucks
- Box carriers need an in-state license and registration for their market
