About NordStar

Minneapolis is the hub. Most freight stays inside Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, the Dakotas and Illinois, close enough that a driver can be on a dock the same day it is booked.

Longer runs to the Mountain West and the Southeast go out on a schedule rather than on whatever the load board happens to have, so the return leg is planned before the truck leaves.

Owner operators
