CDL-A OTR Truck Driver — Minimum $0.62/mi, 4 Weeks Out/7 Days Home

Our company, a family-owned hazmat and tanker carrier based near Indianapolis, IN, is looking for experienced OTR drivers to run nationwide freight. You'll haul mostly drop-and-hook van and tanker loads for a steady base of long-term customers, with limited time spent at big distribution centers.

Pay

• Mileage pay on a sliding scale based on run length, with a minimum of $0.62 per mile, and you're paid for all running miles using practical routing.

• Annual pay ranges from $90,000.00 to $130,000.00 per year.

• Breakdown pay starts from when you report the issue.

• Detention/demurrage pay kicks in after the first hour.

• Extra pay available for drivers operating specialty equipment like vacs, pumps, and roll-offs.

Home time
