Area Transportation Company Truck Drivers

ADS Truck Driver

 ADS Logistics' Area Transportation division has one of the trucking industry's strictest driver qualification standards. We consider our drivers to be our most important human asset. Area Transportation hires only the safest professional drivers and rewards them with incentive bonuses tied to individual and Company performance as well as annual Safety Awards. All Area Transportation drivers earn paid vacations and holidays and are eligible for insurance (Health, Dental, Vision & Life) and our 401-K plan.

Our well-maintained Kenworth and Volvo Conventional sleepers as well as Reitnouer trailers ensure driver safety. Additionally our drivers only use specialized Area Transportation equipment such as our aluminum sleds, Michigan Doubles, and Conestoga Wagons. Most notably, our B-Train and Michigan Double loads pay 30% of load revenue.
