why ramar

Why drive with us

AAE freight, not box trucks

We move Arms, Ammunition & Explosives for the DOD and prime contractors. Mission-first cargo with mission-first compensation — not the bottom-rate freight other carriers fight over.

Paid during your week off

Base salary continues during scheduled time at home. Most over-the-road carriers stop paying when you stop rolling. We don't.

Non-forced dispatch

Choose your loads. Real driver autonomy on a small fleet, not the rotating-dispatcher carousel of a 5,000-unit operation.

Late-model, well-maintained equipment

Pernell has been keeping this fleet running since 1993. Whether you bring your own tractor or run ours, the equipment shows up ready.
