Company Overview
Central Transport is a less-than-truckload carrier based in Warren, Michigan, serving the United States and Canada through a large terminal network concentrated in the Midwest and Northeast. The FMCSA filing shows 4,944 power units and 4,372 drivers under active authority. It runs city pickup-and-delivery and linehaul, with drivers home daily on most positions, and it hires steadily because LTL turnover is constant. The roadside record is one of the busier ones on this page in raw count and one of the better ones in rate: 10,750 inspections, 69 driver out-of-service orders, about 0.6 percent, and 942 vehicle orders, about 9 percent, both well under the national averages. There are 172 recordable crashes over two years. Central Transport is on this list from driver reports. It has a reputation for hiring drivers with less-than-perfect records and for being direct about its expectations, which is what you want from the first conversation after a violation. Ask the terminal manager whether they hire drivers who have completed the SAP evaluation, whether they require the return-to-duty test already passed, and how they handle the follow-up testing schedule for a city driver. If you are told yes or no, record it here.
SAP Friendly — Driver-reported
Central Transport is on this list because drivers have been hired here after a Clearinghouse violation. Hiring policy moves with the freight and insurance markets, so confirm with the recruiter when you call.
