Get Answers to Frequently Asked Driver Applicant Questions

We have a terminal in Westfield, WI, Thomasville, NC, and a yard in Charleston, MO. We also operate 18 trucks out of Irving, TX and recently purchased a new location in Hartwell, GA. 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.

We hire out of several states nationwide. Hiring can depend on whether we have freight running in the area where a potential driver lives to get them home. We do not hire out of California, Washington, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico and a few midwest and east coast states farther from our terminals.
