Are You Hiring?

We have a terminal in Westfield, WI, Thomasville, NC, and a yard in Charleston, MO. We also operate 18 trucks out of Irving, TX. We accept applications for all of those locations when we have an opening. Drivers do not necessarily have to live in those areas, but the truck is serviced in those areas.

What Routes Will I Drive?

We do not have dedicated routes. Our dispatch is based on customer demand. Drivers do fall into a pattern where they go to the same customers and usually leave and return on the same days each week. It can vary by location and we like applicants to talk to someone in operation at the location they are applying for.
