The Problem With The Rest
Other carriers
charge you to wait.
The most common complaint production managers have before switching to Janco? Unexpected charges. Parking fees. Toll add-ons. Detention billing for dock wait time. Daily rate adjustments mid-tour. By the time the run is done, the invoice looks nothing like the quote.
Janco rates are all-inclusive. Waiting is part of the job. We plan for it — and we never bill you for it.

The Janco Driver
Your lead driver
runs an operation.
Not just a truck.
Logistics is an operation — not just transportation. The difference shows before the truck ever reaches the dock.
A Janco lead driver arrives already knowing the venue's dock windows, parking restrictions, and idling rules. On the move, they coordinate the full convoy, communicate with the tour manager and production manager, and manage every driver in the fleet.

Driver Development
We don't hire
drivers. We build
tour drivers.
01
Real-World Mentorship
New drivers train alongside experienced lead drivers — not in a classroom. Day-to-day touring teaches what no manual covers.
02
Industry-Specific Standards
Janco drivers learn the dos and don'ts of entertainment transport — how to interact with tour managers, venue coordinators, and crew on the ground.
03
More Accountability, Not Less
A freight driver answers to a dispatcher. A Janco driver answers to the tour manager, production manager, venue, convoy — and the 50-year reputation behind them.

Execution
Tightest
turnaround
in the game.
01
Team Drive Capability
Two drivers per truck. Rotating DOT-compliant 11-hour shifts. The truck moves while others are parked.
02
Working Back from Curtain
We build the run backwards from show day — vendor pickups, drive times, and load-in windows all locked to the hour.
03
Early Arrival Strategy
Drivers stage at 2–3am to beat city congestion, pedestrian traffic, and limited dock access before the venue fills up.
04
DOT-Compliant, Always
Legal, logged, and safe on every run. Mandatory breaks, Hours of Service compliance — no shortcuts, no exceptions.

50 Years of Venue Intelligence
We've been to
that dock before.
Fifty years of touring means Janco drivers know venues the way locals know their own streets. New parking garage blocking last year's route? Idling restriction added downtown? Dock access relocated? We know — or we've already called ahead before you ever have to ask.

This isn't information you find on Google. It's 50 years of institutional knowledge — built one show at a time.
