Area Transportation Company Truck Drivers

ADS Truck Driver

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.

Most notably, our B-Train and Michigan Double loads pay 32% of load revenue.
