What otr trucking company is the best to work for?
There are so darn many of them out here, it’s impossible to classify one as “best”. Each company offers a slightly different working experience, and what’s the “best fit” for someone else may not be the “best” for you. Depending on how much experience you have, I have heard that Wal-Mart treats its drivers very well and has one of the best pay, benefit and hometime packages available in the industry. You need 3 years OTR with no violations, I believe. Also, working in a specialty area, such as hauling for concert tours, offers a lot of perks and benefits. The companies I know of that do this sort of work are Broadway Express and Stage Call. If you’re just starting out, most of the larger carriers offer competitive pay and good benefits, and offer varying hometime options. It all depends on what your priorities are. TransAm out of Olathe, KS has “guaranteed” home time- a friend of mine works for them and he is almost always home when he asks to be. Their pay and benefits are about equal
