Class A OTR Driver

We are seeking experienced, dependable, and safety-conscious CDL-A drivers for an ongoing over-the-road opportunity transporting grain, animal feed, and other agricultural commodities using hopper bottom trailers.

Drivers will transport agricultural products between grain elevators, feed mills, agricultural facilities, and other designated delivery locations.

This position requires drivers to remain over the road for a minimum of two consecutive weeks per trip. After completing each two-week stretch, drivers have the option to return home for four days before heading back out or continue driving for longer periods if preferred.

Minimum Travel Commitment: Drivers must be willing and able to remain over the road for at least 14 consecutive days each time they depart.
Home Time: After completing a minimum two-week trip, drivers may return home for four days before beginning their next trip.
Extended Travel Option: Drivers who prefer to remain on the road longer than two weeks may choose to do so.
Flexibility: Drivers should be comfortable with extended travel, changing delivery schedules, and the demands of agricultural transportation.
