“This is the best company to drive for over the road. ... They have the newest equipment, take amazing care of the trailer fleet and an excellent shop with even better mechanics. Best part is the dispatch and planners. I can’t even begin to thank everyone involved with that part of the business. You make what I do on the road so easy.

“Almost three years in the books as an Independent Contractor at TransLand. I wouldn’t put my trucks anywhere else at this point. It’s home for me and my two trucks.”

“I would highly recommend coming here and sticking around. TransLand has always been great to me. There’s a wonderful support system. If I needed something, it was a phone call away.”

“I have never worked with a company that is so passionate with making the experience positive for the professional truck driver and their family.”

“When I think of TransLand, I think of one family, three divisions and one team. TransLand is a family-owned and operated company. Because of that, the company still holds those family values. The company truly takes care of its employees and is there for them when they need it most. It’s good to see a company that invests in its drivers.”
