This week, we honor the approximately 3.5 million drivers who move an estimated 70 percent of the United States’ freight. These dedicated professionals work tirelessly to ensure products are picked up and delivered across the country safely and on-time.

                                            The Dynamic Difference

                                            Dynamic Transit was founded by over-the-road truck drivers Fred and Michele Khani in 1987 with one primary goal: to treat drivers better than any other company in the industry. Our drivers know they’re part of our family, whether they’ve been with us for a year or 20. All of them get to ride in style with new Peterbilt 389s and top-of-the-line, 53-foot air ride trailers. Plus, they enjoy predictable home time, reliable equipment and competitive benefits.

                                            Take a look at the following video to see some of our team out and about showing our appreciation for our fellow drivers.
