At the same time, because of the quality of our freight, it's very rare that an owner-operator refuses a load. We take the time to know which runs our drivers prefer and do our best to keep all drivers on their preferred runs as often as possible.

Even more, if a driver needs to be home during the week for a family event, doctor's appointment or any other reason, we make sure the driver is home when needed all while still maximizing the driver's miles and income for the week. 85% DROP & HOOK If we had our way, every load in our network would be a preloaded pickup and a drop delivery. Right now, about 85% of our runs are drop and hook. We will continue to work with our customers to add as many drop & hook loads as possible. PREFERRED RUNS We know every driver has a few favorite runs. We'll take the time to learn how you like to run and do our best to keep you on your preferred routes as often as possible. OVERNIGHT PARKING We understand that finding safe overnight parking can be a challenge. That's why we have many shippers and receivers in our network that allow overnight parking at their facility. In fact, parking availability is one of the first questions we ask a potential new customer. MULTI-TRIP PLANS When possible, we will plan you on multiple trips at one time, so you know where and when you're picking up next before you start a trip. This extra planning allows drivers to plan their trip better and get more miles by connecting two trips together. We aren't able to do a multi-trip plan for every driver every time, but we do it as often as possible. ASSIGNED TRACTORS Every driver is assigned to a specific tractor. We offer Freightliner and International tractors with a mix of manual and automatic transmissions. We add new equipment every year and we'll do everything we can to put you in a truck that matches your preferences. SAFETY Armstrong Transportation has some of the top safety scores around...and we plan to keep it that way. From operating safely to preventing accidents and injuries, our entire company remains focused on the safety of our team and the motoring public that we proudly serve. WEEKEND FREIGHT While we pride ourselves on getting all our drivers home every weekend, we do have weekend freight as well. Drivers use the weekend freight to pick up some extra miles or to make up the miles missed because of a day off during the normal week. Much of the weekend freight is day-trips within 225 miles of Memphis, Little Rock and other areas of our network. EVERY DAY ISN'T PERFECT We do our best to make every day perfect for our drivers, but as you know, trucking isn't always perfect. Things like canceled loads, delays at customers and breakdowns are going to happen. When they do, every member of the Armstrong team will be working hard to resolve problems and correct issues as quickly as possible. Fortunately at Armstrong, these things don't happen often, but when they do, Armstrong is going to step up every time with detention pay, breakdown pay and other solutions to make things right for our valuable drivers.
