WHY TRANSPORT AMERICA


At Transport America it starts with a philosophy of driver respect and engagement, and the belief that the dedicated, hard-working men and women behind the wheel deserve more. More opportunity. More autonomy. More appreciation. And, perhaps most importantly, more time at home. This trucking company was built from the pavement up around this driver-first mission. With new equipment, better pay, flexible routes, and the best support in the industry, we're empowering drivers to make smart choices in the name of safety, not profit. In an industry that's been plagued for too long by broken promises and misinformation, this much is clear: change is here, and it began with the great men and women who are driving this company in the right direction.
