A Veteran Driver.
Not a Brokerage.
Thunder Road Express LLC is a newer company built on a long career. The owner spent decades hauling freight for other people before deciding to run his own authority — so the business is young, but the hands on the wheel are not.
That structure matters more than most shippers expect. When you call Thunder Road Express you reach the owner-operator directly, not a dispatcher reading a screen or a broker shopping your load out to whoever answers first. The person quoting your run is the person driving it, which means the quote is real and the ETA is honest.
We operate under USDOT 7128226 and MC-49713548, and we are fully insured with coverage adjusted to fit what is actually in the van. Operating authority is public record — look us up on FMCSA before you book.
From our Chesterfield, Michigan base we run same-day work across metro Detroit and southeast Michigan, plus regional lanes into Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, and North Carolina.
