UFPO All Miles is an over-the-road, power-only program designed with CloudTrucks owner-operators in mind. If your application is approved to join, you will be assigned a UFPO trailer, and we'll keep you running with a mix of live loads and preloads. Here’s the deal:
- Flat Rate Pay: Earn a consistent $2.00 per mile on all miles, loaded, deadhead and empty.*
- Locked-In RPM: This rate is set monthly— giving you consistency and simplicity.
- Steady Weekly Work: Expect to run an average of ~2,200 miles/week, which means an average ~$4,400 gross revenue/week.
- No Trailer Rental Fees: Drivers in the program are assigned a UF trailer at no cost.
*"All Miles" covers all miles driven after pick-up of first load through drop-off of last load in a UFPO itinerary. Therefore, it does not cover commuting mileage, or mileage incurred before the first load in the program. It also does not cover mileage nor fuels costs associated with exiting the program, after returning the trailer.
The 4 Qualifications to Join UFPO All Miles
- Availability: Must be able to stay out for a minimum of 2-4 weeks, depending on where the driver lives (see home location tiers below).
- Weight: Must be able to haul loads up to 45,000 lbs.
-
Geographic Coverage: Must be willing to run all 48 states, with exceptions:
- No NYC runs—ever.
- Drivers can opt out of California if preferred.
- Home Location: Eligible drivers must either live near UF's network of shipper locations, or be willing to be out on the road for extended periods of time. Please check the three home location tiers below to see if you'll qualify.
UFPO vs. CT Dispatch
Choosing between UFPO and CT Dispatch depends on your operating style and priorities. CT Dispatch is our in-house service for drivers who own or rent a trailer, and are comfortable with a 3% dispatch fee. It offers personalized support—with a dedicated CT dispatcher who secures higher-paying loads and streamlines your booking process—helping many drivers boost their revenue by 5–15%.
UFPO, on the other hand, is tailored for owner-operators and fleet owners who want to run their trucks power-only while reducing operating expenses and delegating the bulk of load booking work at no additional fees. By eliminating the $200 weekly trailer rental fee and the additional 3% dispatch fee, UFPO offers cost savings while still providing a robust load booking system, including access to valuable dedicated shipper lane opportunities.
While CT Dispatch is the recommended option for those seeking full support and revenue optimization, UFPO is a great alternative if you’re looking to reduce deductions, avoid difficult broker negotiating, and tap into dedicated contract freight options.
But why choose between these options when you can have both? It’s a perfect pairing—like peanut butter and jelly. As a UFPO driver at CloudTrucks, having a CT Dispatcher by your side makes you unstoppable. Your dispatcher serves as your eyes and ears, acting as a direct liaison for you with the UF trip planner, and stepping in to book you loads outside of UF when appropriate or necessary. They’ll advocate for you, clarify details, and communicate your needs—coordinating with the trip planner via email and keeping you informed over the phone.

Choosing a Point of Contact (When Driver and Admin Are Separate)
If you're a fleet admin with a driver joining the UFPO program, you'll need to let your UF trip planner know your communication and privacy preferences—ideally during your onboarding call.
Important: The UFPO program requires a single designated point of contact (POC) for each truck in the program. This helps prevent miscommunication and ensures efficient coordination.
Who should be the point of contact?
-
If the admin will be dispatching the driver: The admin should serve as the POC.
-
If the driver will be self-dispatching: The driver can be the POC instead.
Can the POC change?
Yes. For example, an admin may want to attend the onboarding call and serve as the initial POC, but later designate the driver as the ongoing POC. That’s perfectly acceptable—just let your trip planner know.
Can contact details be split?
Yes, with nuance. Even though a single POC is required:
-
We can list the driver’s phone number (for tracking and check-in calls). In this instance, the driver will still be able to view the necessary details of their jobs in the CT App.
-
And the admin’s email address (for rate confirmations, onboarding, and settlements)
Want to control what your driver can see or do in the CloudTrucks app as well?
Admins can restrict what their drivers see (such as financials or booking access). Some permissions can be managed directly in the app, while others require help from your Business Consultant. Learn more about user permissions here.

FAQ for UFPO All Miles
Q: What are the fees to participate in UFPO if I'm approved?
There are no program fees to participate in UFPO if you are approved! When you are paid for your loads after delivery, the CloudTrucks lease-on fee and account expenses will be deducted from the gross amount.
Q: Does mileage pay cover my costs to commute from home to my first pickup, and from delivery of my last pickup back home?
No, mileage pay starts from the pick-up of the first load, to the destination of the last load. Therefore commuting miles are not reimbursed. Drivers who do not live close to a key shipper will be responsible for their own deadhead mileage.
Q: How far in advance will my trip plans be scheduled? And in what form will I receive the itineraries and load details?
Your UF trip planner will schedule at least 48 hours in advance, whenever possible, however it won't always be possible. You will receive the trip plans and load details in your email from your trip planner. You will also be able to view your loads and load details in your jobs list on the CT app.
Q: Is this forced dispatch?
No, while you are expected to take each load you could feasibly and safely cover, this is a voluntary program. If you decline loads or self-dispatch, you may be removed from the program.
You remain an independent owner-operator and can give 2 weeks notice and exit the program at any time—without leaving CT. You're always in control.
Q: If I sign up for the UFPO Program, can I decide to opt out at anytime?
Yes. If you join the program, please plan to provide us with 2 week notice that you plan to exit the program, so we can plan for coverage.
Q: If I'm currently in a different version of the UFPO program, am I required to switch to the new structure?
Nope, you can stay as you are if you wish.
Q: What is the commodity being hauled in the UFPO All Miles program?
You will be hauling a variety of standard dry van freight because this program covers a network of national shippers.
