Operator acquisition
Founding Partner Program
Twelve months at 0% commission, then your rate locks permanently before LetzCharter opens to operators at standard rates.
What you get
The terms, in six lines
The same content the cold-outreach email lays out — the deal in a single screen.
Permanently locked rate after
Your tier's locked commission rate (3%–7% early, 5%–9% late) takes effect after month 12 and never expires.
Standard rates start at 15%
New operators after enrollment closes pay marginal brackets starting at 15%. Your locked rate stays below the floor.
Full back-office included
Fleet management, dispatch, quoting, invoicing, and reporting — part of every tier, not an add-on.
Direct product input
Monthly advisory sessions plus a direct line to the team building the marketplace. Founding Partners shape the product.
No exclusivity
List on competitor platforms simultaneously. The Founding Partner agreement doesn't restrict where else you operate.
What you’re signing

What we promise — and what we don't
We promise. Platform access for your full 12 months. If marketplace launch happens during your pilot term, you pay 0% commission on every booking until your term ends.
We don’t promise. How many bookings you’ll see. When marketplace launch will happen. That launch will happen during your pilot at all — if it’s delayed, your subscription extends free until launch, but the locked rate kicks in at launch, not 0%.
If you cancel
The first 3 months are non-cancellable. After month 3, either side can give 30 days’ written notice. If you cancel before completing the 12 months, you forfeit the locked rate and go back to standard rates from the cancellation date forward.
If you chose Pay-in-Full, the rule is different: you can cancel and get a full refund within 30 days of the prepayment. After 30 days, the prepayment is non- refundable.
If marketplace launch is delayed past your term
Your subscription extends free until launch happens. You don’t pay extra subscription fees while waiting.
But your locked rate (not 0%) kicks in at launch — you don’t get a fresh 12 months of 0% commission. The 0% benefit was tied to your pilot term.
If you sell your business
Your locked rate transfers to the acquirer. They notify us within 30 days of the closing date, agree to the same agreement terms, and pick up where you left off. The locked rate doesn’t expire when you sell.
Confidentiality
Your Founding Partner pricing, your tier, and your Founding Partner status are confidential. Operators don’t see each other’s rates. This obligation runs for 2 years after the agreement ends.

What 5 years looks like
Year one: 12 monthly subscription payments + 0% commission on every booking. Years two through five: locked rate on every booking, no subscription. Standard rates start at 15%; permanent rates stay below the floor regardless of volume.
| Tier | Operator size | 5-yr pilot cost | 5-yr at standard 15% | You save |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Founding | $50,000/mo bookings | $84k | $450k | $366k |
| Growth | $20,000/mo bookings | $54k | $180k | $126k |

Volumes shown are illustrative defaults. Founding-tier operators that process more bookings save more on commission; Starter-tier operators that process fewer save less. Run your own numbers on /pricing.

Common questions
Cold-call objections, answered straight
How will this actually increase sales?
The marketplace is designed to surface operators when customers search for their vehicle type, route, and date. Founding Partners get the same discovery treatment as every other operator, with 0% commission for 12 months and a permanently locked below-market rate after. We don’t guarantee booking volume — that depends on your service area, fleet, and pricing — but the platform is built to create more inbound at-bat opportunities than you’d otherwise see, at a fraction of standard commission.
What if I already use a competitor?
No exclusivity. Run on multiple platforms simultaneously. The Founding Partner agreement doesn’t restrict listing on competitor marketplaces. Each operator also gets a unique referral link, so bookings sourced from your existing relationships through your link keep clean attribution.
Is this a long-term commitment?
Three months are non-cancellable. After month 3 either side can give 30 days’ written notice. Stay the full 12 months and your locked rate becomes permanent — no expiration, transferable on sale of the business within the transportation industry. Cancel before completing 12 months and the locked rate is forfeited; the account reverts to standard rates from the cancellation date.
When do early enrollment rates increase?
November 1, 2026. Early enrollment locked rates (3%–7%) are available through October 31, 2026. Late enrollment locked rates (5%–9%) apply November 1, 2026 onward. Enrollment closes April 30, 2027 or 30 days before public marketplace launch — whichever comes first.
Early enrollment rates increase November 1, 2026.
