Truck purchased and titled to your LLC. FMCSA registration. Driver vetted from our active pool, hired, and 90-day onboarded. Insurance bound. Initial loads contracted with shippers. Once the truck is on the road, you start watching it operate in real time via our GPS-enabled investor portal.
Once your truck is on the road, you have live GPS tracking, weekly revenue + expense statements in the portal, bi-weekly ACH distributions to your bank, and year-end K-1 with Section 179 deduction passed through. You see every load, every revenue dollar, every expense — as it happens.
At end of term: (a) buyback at fair market value, (b) refinance/extend, or (c) marketed sale. You decide. Many investors roll into a second truck for another full Section 179 cycle.
