Why Drive for TDC?
Transport Distribution Company (TDC) is a 136-truck, family-oriented OTR carrier based in Joplin, MO — and we’re built differently. As a wholly owned subsidiary of PTL, we give drivers the best of both worlds: the personalized culture and individualized support of a small carrier, backed by the stability and benefits of a large organization. Our own dispatch, our own culture, our own way of doing things — with resources most small carriers can’t match.
If you want to feel like more than a number while still running a strong OTR book of freight, TDC is where that balance exists.
