You Matter
Say Goodbye to Being Taken for Granted

Many carriers are indifferent to the needs of their driver teams.
Others don’t recognize the sacrifices teams make hauling loads for their customers.

Inconsistent Pay

Many teams aren’t paid what they’re worth, because the mileage rate is too low, or the team isn’t compensated for dead, or go home miles.

Disrespectful Dispatchers

Some companies employ dispatchers who don’t care about their drivers or who are not very good at working with people.

Long Layovers or Bad Lanes

Many carriers don’t realize how costly it is for teams to wait for their next load or be held at a dock waiting to be unloaded.

When everything is complete, you’ll meet our dispatchers and be assigned your first load.  At this point, you’re fully trained and ready to be on the road and making money.

Driver Testimonials

  • I really love driving with my dog, Zoey.  Metro's pet policy allows me the freedom to keep my best friend with me. I can't imagine leaving her at home while I'm away working.  There are so many good things about driving for Metro Express, but my favorite is their understanding about the importance of pets, and being able to bring Zoey with me on the road.

    Kurt Olsen

  • Great dispatch team and excellent customer service. Owner Operators are treated with courtesy and respect. The pay is always consistent and timely.

    Octavio Rivera

  • I told my husband Alan how Lucky we are. He said why? I said because we work for Metro 
Express. They really care about their drivers. For a small company they really do have the right ingredients of a great company.

    Mary Speer, Team Driver

  • In our 20 years of experience, we’ve found this is THE best company for team owner operators! Metro is a small, driver friendly company with mostly very light weight expedited freight. The company has fantastic miles and the best rate of pay you can get anywhere. If you’re a team that doesn’t own a truck, they have options for you. Dispatch needs extra stars!!! (yes I am a driver).

    Debra Shockome, Team Driver

Pet Policy

For the past 24 years, I’ve served as the operations manager for Metro Express Transportation Services. In that capacity, I manage the company’s truck and trailer maintenance issues.

Safety Director

Keeps our drivers legal by closely monitoring all qualification and hours of service issues. Also trains on company policies and safety guidelines.

Years Driving Experience

Bio

I have over 35 years of experience in the transportation industry. Since 1993, I’ve served as Metro’s Safety Director. Prior to taking that position, I was a driver for the company, and I later assisted management in training new hires. My goal was to make certain each new driver understood and followed the company’s policies and safety guidelines. My current responsibility is to make certain that all of Metro’s drivers stay legal. To do this, I closely monitor all driver qualification and hours of service issues, so that they never affect a driver’s PSP.
