Local Transport

Home Daily!

Our local drivers are home every day, and most runs are short enough to complete 2 in a 10-hour shift on average.  Driver pay is by the load, and our full-time drivers gross $ 1,400 or more weekly.  We are pet-friendly and also have a rider program.

What I love about working at Moorman Transportation is the personal connection.  Dispatch, Safety, and Maintenance work closely together with one another and with each driver to maintain the well-being of all.  “You are not just a number” has become something of a mantra in the trucking industry, but at Moorman it’s true!  It is one of those places where “everybody knows your name” and every driver is a valued team member. – John B. – Local Driver
