Regional CDL Truck Driver - Refrigerated

Class A OTR MILES!!!!!!


We work hard to foster a work environment in which Drivers are empowered to share their needs and ideas. WE LISTEN! Some of our drivers’ top concerns have been Equipment &Comfort, Safety& Communication, Pay & Their Families. 

As top priorities change, we will listen and change. What is changing right now? We hear drivers’ concerns about their future. With freight and rates being low are we going to continue to run like we have been? Are we financially stable?  

YES, is the answer to both questions.  

Climate was established in 1997 so we have been through ups and downs.  We haul consumables in reefers and dry vans. We will continue to provide for consumers, and YOU will continue to provide for your family while working for us.  As freight shifts from luxury items to the basics we will continue to haul and provide.

SAFETY: Safety is the responsibility of everyone. Our Operations team is experienced. Most have held down the pedal of a tractor just like you. They will dispatch you safely & legally. Our Drivers run the loads in the same manner. Most of our freight is in the middle corridor of the United States. We will never force dispatch you through the mountains of the West Coast or to NY City. Your truck will undergo regular maintenance and the shop is available 24/7.

COMMUNICATION: Drivers regularly meet face-to-face with managers and team members. We want every driver to feel at home, not just a part of the trucking industry. Drivers and dispatchers know each other by name. Some have been around so long they have a nickname. Our operations dept. is available 24/7

PAY: Pay is based on work record and experience and will be determined after you are fully processed. We pay our professionals loaded and empty on practical miles. That’s up to 5% more miles a year than companies paying for short miles. More miles mean more money. We offer annual raises, merit raises, safety and a performance bonus and more. Top performers earned almost 100k last year.

FAMILIES: Most of us have families and we understand that you must have a balance between work and home. Your family can feel secure knowing that while you’re away you will be making money to take care of them. And just as you work hard to deliver on time our operations department works equally as hard to get you home on time.
