I have been with General Transport for a bit over 6 months and have found it an excellent place to work. As an owner/operator I am continuously impressed by the competence and ability of dispatch. They go over the top to get me loads that work for me. I have a challenging home situation (disabled family member) and this is by far the best company I have worked for!

I have work with General Transport for 6+ years and even as a broker I am treated and respected as if I were a customer. I can say they have the best service and communication, truly showing the values of the company. Hayden and Bob are the best! Thank you for all the great service and I look forward to many more years!

I have been with GT for 6 months and am very happy with my decision to join the family as Director of Recruiting. I asked a LOT of questions and had several conversations to be sure I was making a good decision for my career future - I have witnessed exactly what I was presented. The Owner is honest, the staff is experienced and work very well as a team. The drivers are happy and seem to enjoy what they do. While we all know that trucks all come with issues - the maintenance team do an... amazing job at keeping the trucks and trailers well maintained. The lanes are as advertised and operations knows what they are doing. The level of respect makes me very happy to be part of the team, I feel appreciated and really enjoy working for a company that has reasonable expectations and respects the opinions of the staff. I am looking forward to a long and satisfying career!!read more

FAQ

Heres some more reasons why:

Owner Operators

General Transport was founded in 1984 and is based in Akron, Ohio, in the heart of transportation industry. We are a truckload dry van, no touch general freight carrier, relying on our owner operator fleet to provide quality service to our many customers.

It goes without saying that owner operators are a huge part of our business. For years, we have partnered with independent drivers. They handle much of our load, delivering freight in countless areas safely and efficiently.

Currently, we have owner-operator to run the triangle of Ohio, Texas and Floria.:

Run our Triangle
Work with the General Transport team to determine the loads that the driver would haul
Pick-up and deliver cargo to their destination using the driver’s truck
Follow the right schedule and the right destination for each cargo
Follow traffic laws and all the regulations set by the Department of Transportation
Stick with the travel instructions provided by the General Transport team
Report to the General Transport team after every route
Take charge of the maintenance and inspection of the truck to ensure good working conditions

Owner operators run a very distinct triangle service area. Customer locations are in Ohio, Eastern Texas and Central Florida. These hauls provide consistent points for loading and unloading along consistent freight lanes. Company regional drivers operate within a 500 to 600-mile radius of Akron, OH traveling to NC, SC, GA, IN, VA, TN, KY and back to Ohio. There is no travel to the east coast or Canada.
