Teams

Cowen Truck Line teams run primarily from Ohio to Texas or California. Cowen will keep you moving, with minimal amount of pickups and deliveries.

Solo Drivers

Our solo drivers either run long haul, intermediate or local. Cowen runs all 48 states and Canada. We run very little east. Cowen offers 95%, no touch freight, and we pay for pickups and stops after the first pickup or stop. We pay layover pay and per diem.

Our fleet of late model, Kenworth T-660's, T-600's and T-2000's are some of the best maintained in the industry today.
