Case Study: Marr Transport Service gains autonomy and steady, higher‑paying loads with Convoy

Michael Rivera Shares What He Loves About Driving for Himself, Plus Advice for New Owner Operators

Marr Transport Service, founded by Michael Rivera near Atlanta in March 2019, needed a way for an owner‑operator to find steady, well‑priced loads while keeping schedule autonomy and avoiding undesirable routes. Michael turned to Convoy, using the Convoy app and its power‑only load offerings to view rates, bid on loads, and choose jobs that keep him local.

Convoy’s platform and support let Marr Transport Service quickly find and win work (Michael cites winning an 80‑mile bid), haul well‑maintained Convoy trailers, and use power‑only runs to plan return trips—helping him stay close to family and increase earnings. Convoy’s bidding features, nationwide power‑only inventory, and 24/7 phone support made load sourcing faster and more reliable, improving route predictability and equipment utilization for Marr Transport Service.
