We analyze your lanes. We talk to our preferred carriers (you know, the small to midsize carriers with fleets of less than 100 trucks) who run those lanes and like a particular type of freight. And then we talk to our data scientist who runs the numbers every day providing us with volume and capacity shifts in real-time. We factor in internal and true market data to generate a predictive rating. It’s fast, accurate, and pretty cool.

How do I become a carrier partner with AM Transport?

Becoming a carrier partner with AM Transport is easy, but the best way to start the process is to give us a call and talk to one of our friendly carrier managers. We want to learn as much about your operation as possible, so we can maximize our partnership and put you in the best possible situation moving forward. Relationships matter to us at AMT, and there is no better way to get one started than a nice conversation over the phone.

Once the packet is completed and the documents are verified, we’re ready to roll!
