Is OTR truly non-recourse?

Yes for broker insolvency on OTR-approved brokers. It does not cover disputes, billing errors, or broker slow-pay outside insolvency. Read the contract definitions.

Does RTS offer non-recourse?

RTS offers non-recourse selectively on approved brokers, but recourse is the standard contract. Carriers wanting non-recourse default usually find OTR a cleaner fit.

Which has the better load board — RTS Pro or OTR?

RTS Pro is included with RTS factoring and is competitive with DAT and Truckstop. OTR doesn't operate its own load board — carriers pair it with DAT or Truckstop separately.

Are OTR fees higher than RTS?

Slightly, on equivalent volumes — non-recourse default carries a built-in premium. The added cost can be worth it for carriers running unfamiliar broker rosters.

Can I switch from RTS to OTR mid-contract?

RTS month-to-month contracts allow easier exits. Volume contracts may have early-termination fees. Plan the switch around month-end and budget 60-90 days for UCC transfer.
