We’re looking to contract with experienced solo and team drivers to safely deliver high-value, high-security products to places like medical facilities, government sites and other secure locations.

Deliver mission-critical government shipments 

Start a fulfilling career transporting high-security classified government and Department of Defense shipments that protect America and support men and women in uniform. DoD drivers require government clearance and are rigorously trained in multilayered security practices to keep freight safeguarded and monitored in route.
