Job Description

Job Overview:
• Guaranteed $350 if we fail to meet your scheduled home time
• Enjoy two consecutive nights at home each week—guaranteed (or opt to stay out longer if you wish)
• Average starting pay of $1,750 per week (for those with 2+ years of experience) — consistent, dedicated freight
• Assigned late-model truck (average fleet age: 2 years)
• Dispatch is responsive and knows you by name

Let’s Be Real:

We understand that you've faced unfulfilled promises regarding home time. You've reached out to dispatch only to be met with silence. You've been working diligently and maintaining a clean record, yet feel undervalued.

A driver with your level of expertise deserves more.

At our organization, we take a different approach.

Home time should be straightforward. If we miss your scheduled home time due to no fault of yours, we will add $350 to your next paycheck—no questions asked.

But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s feedback from one of our drivers:

“The dispatch team is exceptional. Whenever I need assistance or have a question, they answer promptly and personally. If I encounter any issues, they resolve them immediately. The service department is also outstanding—if there’s a problem with my truck, they prioritize getting me back on the road as quickly as possible.” — Oliver H., Driver

Compensation and Miles:

  • 58-70 cents per mile (based on experience)
  • Compensation for picks, drops, detention, layovers, and tarping
  • Merit pay available within the first 60 days
  • Annual longevity pay increases
  • Referral bonuses offered

Your Truck:

We provide late-model International LT625s (average fleet age: 2 years) — fully automatic.

  • SiriusXM All Access
  • CB Radio
  • APU inverter
  • Refrigerator and TV mount available; optional in-cab Wi-Fi

About Us:

We are a family-owned business established in 1957, now in our third generation.

With a fleet of over 100 trucks, we focus on building long-lasting relationships with both our customers and drivers. This commitment is why many of our drivers choose to stay with us for years—some have been part of our family for decades.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes health, dental, vision, PTO, a 401(k), and a passenger and pet rider program.

Requirements:

  • Valid CDL-A license
  • At least 6 months of experience (Van, Reefer, or Flatbed)
  • Consistent work history (no more than 2 employers per year)
  • Clean driving record (no more than 4 minor violations, 1 preventable accident, or DUI/SAP in the last 3 years)
