AAA Cooper Transportation (ACT) is an American, non-union less than truckload (LTL) freight carrier based in Dothan, Alabama. The company also provides dedicated, port, and international freight transportation. The company was founded in 1955 by John H. Dove after he purchased an interest in P.C. White Truck Lines. It was owned and operated by the Dove family for most of its history.
In July 2021, ACT was acquired by the largest truckload carrier in the US, Knight-Swift, for US$1.35 billion with plans for the company to continue to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary.[1]
