Welcome to Cooley

We appreciate the opportunity to take care of all your freight hauling needs.

Employees

We look for employees that are honest, hard-working people that work well with others. They must understand that our customers are the most important part of our business. Our service to our customers is what we sell. We have an excellent office staff of more than 20 folks and we are more like a family.

Drivers

We currently have 90+ drivers and a trailer pool of 190 trailers. We look for experienced drivers that know the importance of safety, abiding by the DOT regulations, timely delivered freight, and most importantly customer satisfaction. We have a great group of drivers, including several team drivers.

Customers

Many of our customers have a 30+ year relationship with our company. We move freight in all of the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, and we strive to meet customer satisfaction in a safe and timely manner.

Company

We are a family business now based out of Tupelo, Mississippi. We began the business in 1991 in Fulton, Mississippi and we incorporated in 2004. We slowly grew the company and have recently relocated to Tupelo, Mississippi, where we now reside moving freight for more than 90 trucks.

We understand who does the heavy lifting and take pride in being a driver-friendly company. Eliminating unnecessary administrative burdens means less calls, less emails, and more freight. We bring you the right option the first time.


We take personal safety seriously for each employee here at Cooley Transport. In response to COVID-19, we have been taking several safety measures inside and outside the office to keep all employees safe during this time. We are currently furnishing our drivers with hand sanitizer, masks, and gloves along with providing items in our office to combat the spread of COVID-19.
