About American Central Transport:

American Central Transport began in 1926 as a small flatbed trucking company operating out of Joliet, Illinois. Over a hundred years of growth and one name change later, we are still a family-run enterprise, offering the same driver-friendly environment our associates enjoyed a century ago. We are proud of our history and equally proud of the forward-looking innovations we’ve made to ensure safer and more profitable driving for our partners and teammates.
