Drive Mission-Critical Freight Nationwide with a Department of Defense-Certified Carrier

Support national security by hauling Transportation Protection Services (TPS) and Arms, Ammunition & Explosives (AA&E) freight with Anderson Trucking Service.

 

Drive Freight That Protects What Matters Most

Are you ready to haul freight that most drivers never get the chance to touch?

At Anderson Trucking Service (ATS), we know the responsibility that comes with hauling Department of Defense (DOD) freight. CDL-A team drivers play a vital role in moving some of the nation's most sensitive and secure freight.

As professionals qualified to haul DOD-certified loads, drivers can count on the stability, respect, and competitive pay that reflect the importance of the work they do across the country.

Why Drive DOD Freight with ATS?

  • Haul unique, high-security freight
  • Earn industry-leading pay and enjoy consistent miles
  • Support America's troops: transport critical, sensitive shipments safely and securely

You may have hauled military freight before. But not like this.

What Makes DOD Team Driving Different at ATS?

You'll have the tools, freight opportunities, and 24/7 support you need to succeed on the road and serve those who serve our nation.

DOD team drivers handle freight that requires the highest levels of skill, precision, and compliance, including:

  • Dual-Driver Protective Service (DDP)
  • Protective Security Service (PSS)
  • Satellite Motor Surveillance Service (SNS)

Because these shipments require constant surveillance and security clearance, both drivers must complete the SF-86 background application, a U.S. government questionnaire used to determine eligibility for national security positions.

What It Takes to Haul DOD Freight

If you're a detail-oriented, safety-focused, CDL-A driver who thrives under responsibility, this is your opportunity to earn top-tier pay, support our troops, and be a part of something bigger. Drivers who succeed in this role:

  • Have (or can obtain) DOD clearance
  • Are committed to professionalism, reliability, and teamwork
  • Want to drive meaningful miles on secure, high-value freight

Whether you drive a company van or flatbed, or operate as a lease van or flatbed driver, you can find rewarding DOD freight opportunities that match your experience and goals.
