PAM Transport is a publicly-traded trucking company based in Tontitown, Arkansas. The company operates solo and team operations with a fleet of about 1,800 trucks and drivers.
For the past several years, PAM Transport has been recognized as one of America's most successful and profitable truckload carriers. Recently, PAM was recognized as one of the best 200 small companies in the country by a leading financial publication. And while we're big enough to offer a secure future, we're not so big that you'll get lost in the shuffle. PAM Transport is currently looking to hire more truck drivers along our major freight lanes.
PAM Transport is an irregular route, common carrier, which means we haul just about anything anyone wants to ship on a truck - except refrigerated products. While we are authorized in 48 states and Canada, our primary routes are in the Midwest, Southeast, and the East Coast. Our customers include several Fortune 500 companies. About 90% of our loads are 'drop and hook' and don't require drivers to assist in the loading/unloading of the trailer.
