Why Asa Cargo

Built by a driver.
Run like one too.

Most carriers say they care about drivers. We were founded by one. Every policy here — from dispatch coverage to how we route freight — got built by someone who's slept in a cab and waited at a closed dock at 3 a.m.

01 · Schedule

Real Home Time

About 14–21 days out, then real reset time at the house. We route around getting you home, not just the next load.

02 · Equipment

Recent Trucks

Freightliner & Volvo, automatic. APU units, power inverters, fridges, miasacargoaves, Athena TVs and front-facing dash cams. We handle maintenance.

03 · Dispatch

24/7 Real Humans

Professional, experienced, US-based dispatch — 24/7. A real human on the line, not a queue. Every shift, every weekend.

04 · Owner-Ops

Owner-Op Friendly

Plate program, permits, IFTA and fuel cards handled. Parking yard, in-house maintenance garage and lower-cost repairs. No forced dispatch.

05 · Pay

Layover Pay

Paid layovers at $130/day. Weekly paychecks every Friday — always on time. Tolls covered and fuel cards provided.

06 · Bonus

Safety Bonus

Three-tier safety bonus — up to $300 per quarter for a clean DOT, clean MVR and on-time delivery. Drive clean, get paid for it.

Pay & Lanes

Numbers that
add up weekly.

Transparent pay — no asterisks, no "up to" games. Two paths, both built to put you ahead at the end of the year, not just the end of the week.

Hiring Requirements

If this is you,
let's talk.

Most of these are non-negotiable — they keep our DOT score where it needs to be and your paycheck steady. A couple are flexible. Apply anyway; we'll figure it out.

From the founder

A letter to the seat next to me.

Asa Cargo was built on a simple idea: drivers do better when the company treats them like partners, not unit numbers. Here's the short version.

We started Asa Cargo in 2022 with one rule: treat drivers the way we'd want to be treated. Pay on time, every Friday. A dispatch team that answers. Clean, well-equipped trucks and steady freight. Safety, respect, trust and reliability — never compromised. That's the whole pitch.

Step 01 of 03

Tell us about you & your CDL.

This first step covers contact info and what you drive. Steps 2 & 3 (work history, MVR consent) come after a quick chat with a recruiter — saves you time if we're not a fit on basics.

  • You'll hear back ≤ 1 business day
  • We never share your application
  • Reschedule any step — no pressure
By submitting you agree we may contact you about driving opportunities.

What drivers say
about us.

Unedited, in their words. We've left the typos and the truck-stop punctuation alone — felt wrong to clean them up.

★★★★★

Been with Asa Cargo 14 months. Dispatch actually answers and the pay hits every Friday like clockwork. The 30% is real money on these loads.

Came over as an owner-op. Plate program, IFTA and permits all handled, and the yard plus the in-house shop saves me real money every month.

★★★★★

Trucks are clean and loaded — APU, inverter, fridge, the works. Small enough they know my name, steady enough to keep me rolling 3-4K a week.
