Job description

DSL Express and partners now hiring Class A CDL Solo Truck Drivers for OTR! Company drivers with 2+ yrs of experience and a decent MVR / PSP score. Position available ASAP.

Pay is performance based but we offer percentage pay at 30% and option to switch to miles pay. Every solo driver here is making well over 100k per year and some guys towards 140's when working year around.

Preferred Percentage Based Solo Driver Pay :

  • We are paying up to 30% line haul plus bonuses. In this post covid market, drivers drive less and make more on this.
  • Average pay in dead season is usually between $1900 to $2100 with some rare best weeks of about $2400+ and a rare slow week of $1500.
  • Average pay in peak season is usually between $2100 to $2400 with some rare best weeks of about $2700+ and a rare slow week of $1900.
  • Average miles on percentage pay is reduced on purpose. We not only save fuel but our contracts make more by the mile. Its a win / win. Usually 2000 to 2500 miles in slow season and up to 3000 in busy. You dont have to chase the dragons tail with miles or get burnt out but you make more. Plenty of time to make your stops as well and fewer missed appointment times when there is an appointment time. Its just a smarter way to do business.

Standard Miles Based Solo Driver Pay :

  • Every driver is given option to switch any time to up to 65 cents plus bonuses depending on EXP and MVR and more for manual drivers.
  • Average miles when doing miles pay is anywhere between 2500 and 3600 per wk. Some drivers do more than others.
  • The average gross income is roughly $1600 to $2400 legal max per week per driver. A bit less for automatic only drivers.
  • Team Driver Pay (Miles Based Pay Only) :

  • Want to drive in a team provided you have a team member?
  • Up to 75 cents per mile plus bonuses. Depending on the EXP and MVRs of the team.
  • Average miles when doing miles pay is anywhere between 5500 and 7000 per wk. Middle to lower side side recently.
  • The average gross income is $4100 and $5200 per wk total split. Roughly $2000 to $2600 per week per team driver.
  • Sorry - This is not a team market right now. Solos on percentage generally do better and especially when running by percentage.
  • Apply here and get approved today!

    Important Info About Our Work Ethic! :

    We get lots of applicants – some days, too many. We need “A” stringers! Division 1 players. If you need a decent job, we can help but; we are saying this right now : We don’t want unsafe drivers! We don’t want guys who will sit around and miss stops continually. We don’t want guys who are lazy and sit at truck stops all day. If you are motivated and can run and are a good, honest, hard-working honorable person, then we have a place for you – APPLY NOW! Otherwise, consider Schneider’s of the world. This job is demanding and as long as you’re a professional, we have a place for you. We take this business seriously and we want serious drivers who will do the job to the best of their ability each and every day while on duty. What you make is directly related to your performance and its entirely up to you how well you do. Thank you kindly, We want the best! (I know - sounds harsh but the reality is the old timers are sourly missed. Trucking is full of people now who don't know the meaning of good work ethics and this is coming from someone who drove themselves)
