The person behind the operation

MEET
DERRICK.

RAM Transport helps Northern California paving contractors solve truck shortages. Whether you need one truck or a coordinated fleet, we handle dispatch, communication, tracking, and execution so your crews stay productive.

After years dispatching hundreds of trucks across Northern California, I realized contractors didn't need another trucking company. They needed one reliable point of contact. RAM Transport was built so one phone call can solve the trucking problem on any size project.

25+ years of family experience. Every major project type. Every compliance requirement. One dispatcher who actually answers.

WHO WE
WORK WITH

RAM Transport dump truck at material plant — general contracting

General Contractors

You're running a complex project with multiple subs. You need a hauler who shows up, stays in communication, and never makes the schedule your problem.

Primary Client

Paving Contractors

Asphalt crews move fast. Your haulers need to move faster. RAM stays ahead of your paving train — material in, debris out — so your machine never idles.

Primary Client
Super dump truck with folding trailer axle for excavation hauling

Excavation Companies

Excavation only moves as fast as the material gets out. We run continuous removal so your equipment never stalls waiting for trucks.

Primary Client

The honest difference

WHY CONTRACTORS
SWITCH TO RAM

"My last hauler disappeared mid-project."

One person. One number. Always answered.

Derrick runs dispatch personally. When your project changes, you call one person and it gets handled — before sunrise, after sunset, weekends included.

Communication
"I had zero visibility on where trucks were."

Truck tracking. Your GC can watch in real-time.

Less time calling around asking where the next truck is. Loads are tracked and visible — you see it, your GC sees it.

Visibility
"They couldn't scale when my project ramped up."

100+ trucks available. Large fleets dispatched on short notice.

When your scope grows, your hauler shouldn't become the problem. RAM has the network to match whatever the project demands — and the relationships to move fast.

Capacity
"Certified payroll was a nightmare with our last hauler."

Public works ready. Prevailing wage handled.

Certified payroll, prevailing wage, DOT compliance, CARB. We've run public works contracts for decades. Tell us the requirements upfront and consider it done.

Compliance
"Their invoice never matched what was delivered."

Weight tickets on every load. No billing surprises.

Full load documentation including weight tickets on every haul. If your GC needs specific paperwork formats, tell us upfront. No surprises at invoice time.

Documentation
"I hired them for one job and never heard back."

We don't disappear after winning the job.

Most haulers are great at the bid and gone by week two. RAM stays engaged every phase, every scope change, every schedule adjustment. You have Derrick's number and he picks up.

Reliability
"I was calling 15 different owner-operators every morning."

One dispatcher. Not fifteen owner-operators.

One call to Derrick covers your entire haul. No managing multiple drivers, no chasing availability, no coordinating pickups yourself. He handles the network so you can run your project.

Got questions?

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

How many trucks can you deploy on a single project?

RAM has access to 100+ trucks available throughout Northern California. We've dispatched large fleets on short notice for paving, excavation, and public works projects. Call Derrick at (510) 775-8100 to discuss your specific volume.

What makes RAM different from calling a trucking broker?

A broker connects you to whoever answers that day. RAM is a logistics company — Derrick runs dispatch personally, knows your project, and stays accountable from first truck to last load. One person. One number. Every time.

Do you handle certified payroll and prevailing wage?

Yes. RAM Transport has been handling public works and municipal projects with certified payroll and prevailing wage. Just give us the requirements when you schedule and we'll have everything in order.

What if I need trucks last minute?

Call Derrick directly at (510) 775-8100. We respond within 2 hours and can often dispatch same-day. For emergency jobs, we've had fleet on site within 4 hours of a call.

Can I track my loads in real time?

Yes, on our tracked trucks. You and your GC can see where a load is without having to call and chase down a truck.

Still have questions?

Derrick picks up. Call any time.
