About the position

At PTL, you'll receive a long OTR length of haul, longer for teams. This means more time on the road earning and less time waiting at shippers. Our drivers can earn some of the highest take-home pay in the business. To help keep your pay more consistent, we'll pay the portion of miles you've run right up to the payroll cut off time. Our solo company drivers will earn milestone base pay increases based on tenure AND additional increases every 50,000 miles with no pay cap! All teams starting base pay is $0.75 CPM, and earn increases every 100,000 miles starting mile one with no pay cap! Our drivers typically only run routes east of the Mississippi, meaning you'll be home every 1 -2 weeks depending on the freight! We have a variety of career opportunities for professional truck drivers: OTR Solos and Teams, Regional, Mentors, and Owner Operators. We also have a paid training program for new CDL-A drivers and a great refresher program for people who have been off the road for a while.
