About this job

Our company runs drayage freight out of Port of Charleston and wants Owner Operators who want strong earnings while sleeping in their own bed every night. Loads are planned out ahead of time, mostly drop and hook, so you spend less time sitting at terminals and more time earning.

Pay

  • Owner Operators can earn $250,000+ a year, up to $5,000 per week
  • Fuel surcharge is paid as a percentage of gross load revenue, so fuel price swings don't eat into your profit
  • Extra pay available for bobtail runs, chassis splits, wait time, Hazmat loads, and overweight loads
  • $6,000 sign-on bonus for drivers who join this month
  • Additional bonuses for referrals and safe driving
  • Settlements are processed weekly for steady cash flow

Home time

You're home every night, running local and regional port freight.

What you'll haul

  • Daily loads are pre-dispatched so you can plan your schedule like a business owner
  • About 92% of freight is drop and hook
  • No forced dispatch — you pick the loads that fit your operation
  • Dispatch and paperwork are handled through the GWI Move app right from your cab
  • Free parking is available at our company facilities

What our company provides

  • Consistent freight volume from one of the busiest ports in the country
  • Private chassis access so equipment is never a bottleneck
  • Fuel card and fuel discounts
  • A plate program to help with compliance paperwork
  • Dispatch support available around the clock

Requirements

  • Valid Class A CDL, minimum age 21
  • At least 1 year of verifiable CDL-A experience within the last 10 years
  • No more than 2 moving violations or 2 preventable accidents in the last 2 years (3 combined maximum)
