We are proud to be a 100% Owner Operator fleet, maintaining a small company atmosphere that strives to provide the best working conditions and a profitable compensation program.
We recognize and appreciate our Owner Operators every single day. Our freight is consistent, our lanes are desirable, and we strive to dispatch trucks that meet your comfort level while providing the right amount of weekly miles you request. With a financially sound company offering steady work year-round, we boast a high retention rate; several of our drivers have been with us for more than 30 years, and our top two Owner Operators have surpassed 4 million miles with us.
About the Role
Partnering with Ameri-Co is more than just a job; it is an opportunity to make your days the most successful ones.

Whether you prefer short and long runs covering East to West, North to South, or the Midwest regions, we have options to fit your lifestyle.
We pride ourselves on offering flexible schedules with no forced dispatch. Regional drivers can expect to be home every weekend, while Long Haul drivers typically average 8-10 days out, though the duration is ultimately your choice. We provide exceptional mileage rates on all miles (loaded and empty) plus fuel surcharge, ensuring you are compensated fairly for your work.
