Each truck is equipped with inverters, refrigerators, and Qualcomm systems, allowing drivers to take their truck and trailer home with secured parking responsibility.

Running Area: We operate primarily east of I-35, with dedicated drivers having the potential for 3,000 miles per week. Our consistent freight lanes ensure reliable mileage and earning potential.

Benefits: Health insurance starts on the first of the month after 60 days, with vision, dental, life insurance, and a 401K program available. After 90 days, drivers become eligible for dedicated accounts.

Company Culture: At American Trucking Group, we are passionate about exploration, freedom, and supporting our drivers. We create a close-knit community where everyone feels valued and respected. Our commitment to open communication and teamwork ensures a healthy work-life balance with predictable schedules and generous home time.
