Speedy Chicken Transportation (SCT) is a growing carrier based in the Southeast. We run a tight, professional operation with routes serving major food industry clients. We treat our drivers like the professionals they are — we pay fairly, equip you right, and invest in your future with us.

- Communicate proactively with dispatch regarding load status, delays, or issues
- Maintain a clean and professional appearance of your assigned equipment
- Comply with all DOT, FMCSA, and company safety policies at all times
