About this job

Our company is looking for OTR CDL-A drivers to haul food-grade tanker freight. Expect steady miles, newer equipment and driver support from a company backed by an established transportation and dairy operation.

Pay

  • Average weekly pay of $1,700–$1,800 based on 3,000 weekly miles
  • Both loaded and empty miles are paid
  • Paid $200 for resets taken on the road
  • Paid holidays, plus an extra $200
  • Paychecks issued weekly
  • Entry-level drivers start at $0.51–$0.52 CPM, and 95% of drivers earn an added $0.05 CPM monthly safety bonus, bringing pay to $0.56–$0.57 CPM

Home time

  • Out on the road 14–18 days at a time
  • Flexible options for getting home

What you'll haul

  • Food-grade tanker freight
  • Running late-model 2023 and newer Peterbilt, Kenworth and Freightliner trucks, both automatic and manual

Requirements

  • Valid CDL-A
  • For entry-level applicants: CDL-A held less than 1 year, willing to stay out 2–3 weeks, and a safety-first approach
  • For recent grads: must have finished school within the past 90 days
  • Tanker experience is a plus but not mandatory
  • Must meet DOT qualifications

If you're an owner-operator worn down by fuel and maintenance costs, CORE48 also offers a path back to driving as a company driver.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental and vision coverage
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off and 7 paid holidays
  • Life insurance and disability coverage options
  • Round-the-clock driver support
  • Pet-friendly policy available
  • Spouse ride-along program
