Your life. Your livelihood.

A bigger picture.A single financial home.

Variable income. Equipment costs. Weeks away from home. Most financial products were designed for a paycheck that arrives every other Friday and a car that sleeps in a driveway. We’re building around the realities of life in trucking instead.

How membership is being built

One door in.Everything behind it.

Drivers First is designed as a membership organization, not a product catalog. You join once, based on who you are and what you do. The services are built around that relationship, so the more of your financial life you bring, the more the whole thing works together.

1

Qualify by community.

Eligibility is based on your connection to trucking: your CDL, your authority, your fleet, your job in the freight chain, or your family member who holds one of those.

2

Join once. Stay for the career.

Membership is planned to follow you from student to company driver to owner-operator to fleet owner to retirement, without starting over at each step.

3

Build the relationship.

Banking, lending, insurance, and planning connected under one roof, with advice from people who understand settlements, per diem, and what a blown turbo does to a month.

Questions drivers ask us

Straight answers.

Is Drivers First a bank?

No. Drivers First Financial Group is a membership organization in formation. It does not accept deposits or provide banking services today. Banking, lending, and insurance products are planned and will be delivered through licensed, regulated providers whose names and terms will be published before launch.

Who will be eligible to join?

Membership is being designed around the trucking community: CDL holders and students, owner-operators, fleet owners, diesel technicians, dispatchers, logistics and warehouse professionals, and the immediate family members of eligible members. Final eligibility rules will be published before launch.

What will membership cost?

Pricing has not been set. Our intent is a simple, transparent membership with no hidden fees, and it will be published clearly before anyone is asked to pay anything. Joining the waitlist is free and creates no obligation.

When does this launch?

We are in development and are not announcing a date yet. Insurance comes first, because it is the most immediate need for owner-operators and fleets and the first area where we expect to be licensed. Waitlist members will hear first, and will help shape what we build.

Will joining the waitlist affect my credit?

No. The waitlist is an email conversation. Nothing is pulled, nothing is applied for, and you can leave it at any time.

I run a fleet. Is this for me or for my drivers?

Both. Fleet owners are members in their own right, with business banking, equipment financing, and commercial coverage planned for the operation. Your drivers can join as members too, and we’re exploring ways for fleets to offer that as a benefit.
