About the carrier
What Makes Us Different?
EQUIPMENT
We offer Peterbilt 389 and 579 models that are traded every 2-3 years. We take pride in making sure our drivers are in safe equipment that they enjoy driving. Our entire fleet offers features near owner-operator specifications.

ENVIRONMENT
Many potential drivers that we speak with explain their frustration with being treated like "just a number" at their current employer. That is one thing we try to combat by offering direct dispatch with your driver manager. We are "old-school" in our dispatching methods, but many drivers appreciate the family-owned atmosphere that they experience with us.

EARNINGS
We offer a top pay scale for this type of freight in the industry. But, we don't cut your miles or make excuses when it comes to our competitive pay scale.
