American Central Transport wouldn’t be where it is today without the support of our drivers, employees, their families, and the numerous groups and organizations we’ve partnered with over the years. To show our appreciation, we’re proud to give back to the community—in particular, ACT recently teamed up with the ALS Association Mid-America Chapter and Harvesters, a Community Food Network […]

In 1998, I changed careers. I left the practice of law after many years and started a career in trucking. I was trained and experienced to “think like a lawyer.” It took a couple of years to temper that and learn to also think like a leader and businessman. Lawyers generally do not understand business.

We expect it will take around 6 months to complete if the weather cooperates and the creek doesn’t rise. It is located at the corner of Parvin Road and […]
Last year we adopted a fuel bonus that pays both quarterly and annually for our top fuel performers. Why do we do this? You save us money…and we share the savings. It’s a win/win deal. It’s that simple. Isn’t it every company driver’s job to save fuel costs by improving their mpg? Certainly. All employees […]
