Class A CDL Owner Operator - Power Only | 100% Fuel Surcharge

Class A CDL Owner Operators – Power Only

Trailer Transit, Inc. is leasing experienced Class A CDL owner operators for nationwide power-only opportunities.

Trailer Transit has specialized in power-only transportation for more than 45 years. Owner operators provide the tractor while customer trailers are supplied for each load — which means no trailer ownership, trailer maintenance, loading, unloading or tarping.
