TruckersReport is the fastest way to find truck driving jobs. It only takes 30 seconds to fill out an application form and receive offers from the best trucking companies. Whether you’re looking for a company that offers better pay, newer equipment, or more home time, you can upgrade your career in minutes.

Better Paying Jobs

The road to the highest paying trucking jobs isn’t always a straight line. You may start at a company that hires drivers fresh out of trucking school or provides free CDL training, but later in your career it often makes sense to seek out companies that hire experienced truckers. Switching from dry van to a more specialized category of equipment, such as flatbed, refrigerated, or tankers, will also lead to more earning opportunities. Owner Operator and Lease Purchase jobs are also an option, but they are risky.

Our job board includes filters so that drivers with specific standards can quickly finds jobs that meet their requirements, such as Hazmat, Oilfield, and military friendly employers that hire veterans. Free job posting means a steady flow of new truck driver jobs from trucking companies that don’t post on other sites.

More Home Time

OTR truck driver jobs usually pay more than local trucking jobs, but it’s tough to put a price on spending time with family. Driving regional or a dedicated lane can often mean getting home on the weekends, which is a good compromise for truckers who want to spend more time with family without limiting their earnings.

Pretty good company as perhaps a stepping stone from Company driver to full on owner. Its kind of hard to fail here as a lease op unless you aren't business minded. Truck lease designed to be paid off in 5 years running average miles. 0 Balloon. They WILL try to tempt you to upgrade so you keep "renting". It works for some. Truck payments based on mileage driven. So 0 miles a week for me comes out to a -320ish settlement. Even on my worst weeks or weeks after hometime I still have a positive net settlement. My DM leaves me alone for the most part. I can sometimes go a couple weeks without hearing from him directly unless he needs a favor for a swap or if he has something that will work out in my favor. He knows how I like to run and keeps me moving. Over 150K miles in one year as a solo. Some aspects are micromanaged, like the 2 check messages a day, on top of the day before delivery day message to ensure you're on time. Other than that my current "Outbox" messages on my QC are all just check messages, and load pickup and delivery messages. Other drivers here that don't care are the biggest downside. You end up with equipment that is damaged/not road legal, reefers unfueled and unwashed, with reefer issues. And management doesent want to come down too hard on them for some reason. Gets annoying having to make your next stop after trailer pickup be a shop or a washout.

Pros

Good miles if you want them, decent equipment, trailers are being re-freshed, open door policy at the terminal.

Cons

Drivers that don't care, LOUD reefers, lots of Wamart and Tyson so lots of waiting on loading and unloading. Limited drop and hook.

3600 to 4100 miles a week in a penske daycab at .32 a mile paid weekly, direct deposit. It's a linehaul so how your day or night turns out is determined by 1 or 2 other drivers that may or may not care. All drop and hook. Most of the tractors are decent, as decent as a bare bones, steel wheeled, penske truck can be. Trailers are hit and miss. Some are rusted completely out with holes in the skin, some dog leg a foot to either side, but there are a few new ones floating around. Lots of recap tires. Home time... Yeah. I'm home enough to say I use my own toilet. Some days I get 12 hours home, some days 8 to 10 hours. 34 hour reset is done at home. Electronic logs the generic way, Big Road app on a phone bluetoothed to the truck. It works 80% of the time. Most loads are very light. I've had as little as 200lbs on a 53ft van. Apparently a lot of this place is determined by where you are located, some are better than others. I'm not at one of the better places. Employee turnover rate is higher than swifts roll over rate. I've been with them a year and I'm #7 in seniority out of 40 or so drivers from my yard... Roads iced over and the interstate is closed? Not for MLS... You're expected to run no matter what. Tired, sick, tornado, world is on fire or completely frozen... you better be in your truck running or the next sucker they recruit will be. No sick time, no vacation, just a paycheck.
