Puls · Your business guide

Hey, I’m Puls.

Box-truck business. Straight answers.

Public beta · Limits & privacy

Uses general AI knowledge, live web research when needed, and dated BTO references. Recommendations link to BTO pages. External research links are available under Sources; this is not a live load board. Messages and answers are stored by BTO and sent to OpenAI to provide answers. Do not share sensitive personal or business information. Five messages per browser per day, with 10 seconds between messages. Shared network limits also apply. Public access pauses when the daily AI budget is unavailable and resets at midnight Chicago time. Up to 24 exchanges provide conversation context; long answers may be shortened and older details can fall outside that window. An essential browser cookie and a daily hashed network identifier help enforce limits; a random tab-session chat pointer lets you continue across public pages without storing your messages on this device. Page contents and calculator entries are not automatically sent to Puls; no sign-in is required. Estimates are not guarantees. Don’t enter API keys or sensitive documents here.

Research notes

Official expedited owner-operator program explicitly accepts straight trucks with a DOT-compliant sleeper berth. Published minimums include age 23+, Class A or B CDL, hazmat endorsement and six months of verifiable OTR experience, plus driving-history and safety review. This listing is for leasing onto Landstar, not general independent-carrier registration. Day-cab non-CDL box trucks do not meet the published program requirements. Landstar also has a separate approved-carrier route at https://www.landstar.com/the-landstar-network/carriers/; confirm straight-truck eligibility there directly. Approval and freight are not guaranteed.
