“Out of 10 years of driving experience, this has been the best and smoothest experience I have had. This company here is amazing.”
Jokomis Scott

” I became family in July of last year. My first company to drive for since upgrading my license to a Class A. They have been nothing but the best, even when I had my accident in the truck in September. Mrs. Peggy called me everyday to make sure that I was fine, and she even went as far as praying for me over the phone. She acted like she was my grandmother, and I haven’t had that feeling in a long time. I don’t think I will leave Ozark because they treat me like a person, and not like just another employee. It’s definitely family oriented here. I love it.”
