Become a West Virginia Long Haul Trucker
Average pay and long hours don’t cut it, especially when you’re stuck in a career that offers no benefits and no room for company growth. If you like having plenty of alone time or driving long distances, you should try over-the-road trucking. A Brakebush trucking career rewards hard work with competitive pay, insurance benefits and generous time off. Start driving wherever you are in West Virginia, including Charleston, Clarksburg, Oak Hill or Hurricane.

Have a hiring-related question? Check out a few commonly asked questions below. View our full applicant FAQs list by clicking All Driver Applicant FAQs.
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 hire in 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.
How Much Can I Expect to Earn?
We will soon have our figures for 2023 earnings to share. Our 2022 average was about $97,000 with several drivers earning 6 figures.
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.
