Overview
AAA Cooper Transportation (AACT) is an asset-based, multi-regional LTL carrier headquartered in Dothan, Alabama. Founded in 1955, the company operates as an independent subsidiary of Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings. As of January 2026, Knight-Swift unified its LTL operations — including Midwest Motor Express and DHE Transportation — under the AAA Cooper brand.
AAA Cooper provides less-than-truckload transportation with coast-to-coast U.S. coverage through 179 facilities across 36 states. The company also offers dedicated contract carriage, truckload brokerage, fleet maintenance, and international shipping through its Affiliate Carrier Program, which extends service to Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and other global markets. The fleet includes approximately 4,200 tractors and 11,000 trailers. Specialized services include guaranteed day delivery, freight assembly and distribution, and port services in the Southeast, Southwest, and West Coast.
Shippers commonly use AAA Cooper for regional and multi-regional LTL freight, particularly across the Southeast, Southwest, and Midwest. The carrier is a strong fit for businesses shipping general commodities in LTL volumes (typically 50 to 10,000 pounds) that need reliable transit times and broad geographic coverage within the contiguous U.S.
