TOTAL Transportation of Mississippi has been in business for 30 years. In the 30 years they’ve operated, they’ve grown from a small fleet to a major national carrier in the mid-sized transportation industry. TOTAL has an OTR fleet of over 1000 modern tractors which allows us to reach over 70% of the population. Some of the major services they offer include: one-way truck load, dedicated, logistics & brokerage, intermodal, port & rail drayage, expedited, and warehousing & cross-docking.

Total Transportation has a new driver training program that teaches and trains new CDL holders how to drive and back-up a truck safely.  We have also built partnerships with programs like Work for Warriors Mississippi to bring  civilian CDL options to service members and their family members. Through their program, drivers with a trucking MOS (88M / 92F) are eligible for license transfer services with just a little paperwork. 

What separates TOTAL Transportation from their competitors? They are a work home to employees with all different backgrounds and experience levels. Total Transportation has over 1,300 drivers, and 24% of our drivers are female, which is 3 times higher than the industry average.  25% of our VP’s and Directors are female, 22% of our managers are female, 54% of our employees are minorities, and 31% of our managers are minorities.

When we asked about the company’s core values, here is what they had to say:  “TOTAL Transportation was founded on the cornerstone concept that safety and service always work hand-in-hand. They are engines of equal horsepower that stand behind the success of our drivers and our trucking company. In today’s world, excellent service demands that our drivers and the people supporting our drivers never take their collective eyes away from following the proper safe driving practices and taking the appropriate cargo security measures.”

TOTAL Transportation is a 4-time award winning Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation, awarded by the Women in Trucking Association.  They are also proud to play a supporting role with the Mississippi Army National Guard and Work for Warriors Mississippi to help qualified soldiers get their CDL based on their training and experience in the military, as well as provide jobs and training for those soldiers who want to get into the transportation industry.

Whether you’re fresh out of college looking to acquire some savings while driving across the US or you’re tired of a desk job and want to be out in the world seeing new landscapes, TOTAL has a place for you. Driving is only one of the positions with the prestigious company, and they offer a variety of careers and positions combined with competitive salaries, great benefits, and a supportive atmosphere.  They believe they have the most unique company culture in the industry, and we believe them! 

Despite their fast-paced and ever-growing company, they continue to foster an environment that treats people as people, not just a number. If you ask any of their drivers, they will say that what sets them apart is they are more like a family than a company.  They care about the whole person, not just the position, and knowing one another by name is still a priority. “We have an open-door culture which welcomes any employee to reach out to upper management for help or to discuss concerns. We want everyone to be heard.”
