About Us | Summer Rose Trucking

Experience You Can Count On. Support You Can Trust.

At Summer Rose Trucking, we believe owner-operators deserve more than just another carrier - they deserve a true business partner.

Our Founder has more than 30 years of hands-on experience behind the wheel, giving us firsthand insight into the challenges and opportunities independent contractors face every day. After decades in the industry, he founded Summer Rose Trucking to give owner-operators the kind of support, honesty, and partnership he wished every driver could count on. That experience shaped the way we do business today. We understand the realities of life on the road because we've lived them, and we're committed to providing owner-operators and independent-contractors with the support, respect, and reliability they deserve.

Today, we continue that mission by helping drivers stay loaded, compliant, and focused on what matters most, building a profitable business.
