Owner Operators
Show Me Trucking cares about our drivers. We operate with high integrity, taking care of both our clients and our employees. Our approach has always been to allow the volume of business to dictate the number of trucks that we operate at any given time resulting in a high productivity factor for our fleet. High productivity means excellent driver wages earned in a 5 to 5 1/2 day work week allowing weekends to be spent at home with family and friends.
