“I was looking for a company that is family-oriented, and I found that with Cooley. I started working at Cooley Transport in January of 2017. Since I have been here I started as the receptionist and now I am the Safety Director. Tammy and Jeff are very understanding and are good to their employees. I love my job and I love my work family.”

Raymond AdamsDriver 
"I love the people here at Cooley Transport. I love the closeness of the family here as well. It reminds me of the 26 years I served in the Navy. Also, I appreciate the opportunity given to me to become part of this company. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for the Cooley’s, including the office personnel and the shop guys. I could not have made a better career choice."

"Driving for Cooley Transport has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. I appreciate being known by my name and not by a number. I also appreciate their deep understanding of family first. If you’re looking for a company that gives the warmth of family, I would recommend Cooley Transport."
Crystal JonesDriver 
"I have been with Cooley Transport for 2 years and love it. When making my transition to Cooley from a previous job I loved and had worked in for 23 years, I thought this would be the hardest thing I would have ever to do from a professional aspect, however I was wrong. Cooley Transport welcomed me with open arms. Everyone at Cooley was and is very helpful, kind, and compassionate about their job. They are more than an employer, they are family. They have great benefits, family centered and believe God should be first, family second, and then your job. I believe if you love your job, you will never have to work a day in your life. I love my job and thank Cooley for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the Cooley Transport family."

"Working with Cooley has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Being a truck driver can definitely have its good and bad moments, yet having a great team of folks just a call away makes for good days than bad. They have a wonderful safety manager, great dispatchers, amazing mechanics and so many more there to help when you need it. It’s not just another job. Cooley Transport is definitely a place to hang your hat and call home."
Bridget JollyDriver 
"I enjoy working for Cooley Transport. When my brother passed away, they were understanding and let me off work. The dispatchers do a wonderful job on getting loads and getting us our backhauls that bring us back home. I really enjoy working for a family organization."
