What driveaway usa does

Team Drive-Away, Inc. (doing business as DriveAway USA, Team DriveAway, and Team TDA) is a commercial truck driveaway and freight transportation company headquartered in Olathe, Kansas. Founded in 2021, the company delivers and transports commercial trucks and equipment on behalf of manufacturers, dealerships, corporations, and commercial fleets across the United States and across the US-Canada border. It operates a network of more than 500 independent contractor (1099) drivers organized into multiple divisions (Non-CDL, Singles, Boom, New Deck, Used Deck) and reports moving 20,000+ commercial trucks and covering 15,000,000+ miles annually.

The company's core technology is a Salesforce-based Driver Portal with a real-time load board that allows independent drivers to self-select loads, supplemented by Motive App integration for digital DOT compliance logging and a Comdata Card system enabling same-day pay and 65% load payout advancement. The technology stack is operational rather than differentiated, focused on recruiting, retaining, and dispatching independent drivers at scale. Supporting infrastructure includes the Team FR8 sub-brand (a full-service 3PL brokerage division), Team Solutions (strategic consulting on delivery capacity and fleet relocation), and a public-facing quote workflow that funnels enterprise customers to a direct sales motion.

The business model is transaction-fee based, with revenue generated per load across four service lines: DriveAway (point-to-point commercial truck transport), Freight (hauling for cargo, industrial equipment, inoperable vehicles, and power-only operations), Last Mile (relocation of EV, sprinter, and package-car fleets), and Specialty (LNG/CNG, oilfield, port, and Canada cross-border). Pricing is quote-based with no public tiers; customers include truck dealerships, fleet operators, oil & gas service companies, and waste management enterprises. All drivers are independent contractors, giving the company a capital-light operating model with scaling tied to driver supply rather than employee headcount.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Wheels (a LeasePlan company): Fleet management and vehicle relocation provider serving corporate fleets, including EV transition management and inter-city vehicle moves; comparable Last Mile and fleet redistribution offering.
• Ryder System: Major transportation and logistics provider with dedicated fleet management, vehicle transportation services, and supply chain solutions; comparable in fleet relocation, dedicated transportation, and overall scale as a broader incumbent in adjacent categories.
• Cox Automotive / Manheim: Parent of Manheim, the dominant US auto auction network that requires cross-country vehicle transport after auction sales; a large incumbent adjacent to Team DriveAway's auction-pickup and dealer delivery services.
• Jack Cooper Transport: One of North America's largest finished vehicle logistics carriers with multi-mode capability, serving auto manufacturers and dealers; broader portfolio but overlapping customer base with Team DriveAway on commercial and finished vehicle transport.

Direct peers

• United Road: Vehicle logistics provider serving dealers, auctions, and OEMs across finished vehicle transport; comparable in vertical customer base and freight transportation services (driveaway-adjacent and trailer-based haul).
• Auto Driveaway Company: Founded driveaway company offering commercial vehicle transport by drivers operating customers' trucks; same core service, target verticals (fleets, dealers, OEMs), and IC driver model as Team DriveAway, making it the most directly comparable peer.
• Reliable Carriers: Specialized vehicle transport carrier operating enclosed and open-haul trucks for automotive OEM and dealer deliveries; overlaps with Team DriveAway on automotive finished vehicle logistics and dealer relationships, though it relies on driver-operated trailers rather than driveaway.

Emerging players

• Merchants Fleet: Commercial fleet management company with growing EV fleet management practice and relocation services for trucks and vans; comparable Last Mile EV/sprinter van sub-segment of Team DriveAway.
• Montway Auto Transport: Digital-first auto transport marketplace for consumer and dealer vehicle shipments, using a broker/IC driver model very similar to Team DriveAway's asset-light approach and load board.
• uShip: Online freight and vehicle shipping marketplace that connects shippers with carriers and independent drivers; overlapping technology and IC-driver coordination model and a competing channel for vehicle transport customers.
