Looking for an OTR Expedite Company Driver Job

campfire914 · Dec 28, 2013

Hi, I have a clean, Class B CDL driver license and I am looking to find an Expedite driving job as a Company Driver in either a Straight Truck or Van. I only have local Commercial driving experience but I am looking for OTR jobs. I have already looked at all the companies which are on the Home page under Driving jobs.. but I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on how to go about things or if you have any companies you would recommend that I apply with to start driving. I am not an owner operator, I want to drive for a company. Any advice would help..thanks.

Company driver might be hard but finding a owner shouldn't be. Search the the free classifieds, several straights that need drivers. And a lot of vans that need drivers

Call Jeff Tacker, at Expediter Services, (E/S).
877-349-9303 extension 114. Tell him Gary Piatt sent ya!
We started as owner operators, with E/S as our agents to lease to Fedex Custom Critical, sold our used truck and drove for E/S as "Contract Drivers" (sort of company drivers) while our new truck was being built.
As "Contract Driver" you get 40% of the "Run" pay. You pay $0 out of pocket on the truck. They pay all fuel (except over 200 miles to go home. They will explain this.). They pay any repairs. They pay all tolls.
They have GREAT equipment and stand behind their drivers 100%!
Also, they have a "Pathway to Ownership" for drivers wanting to become owner operators! They help 1st time truck buyers, and FINANCE TOO!
If you have any questions about them- or other expediter issues- feel free to PM me.

I called ES,and they told me teams only,I was already FedEx qualified,they gave my phone number to several single drivers who had team members quit, no one ever called me,why should they,they are happy driving single. I got tired of waiting and found a truck here on EO.

Contact phil weiner at try hours. They frequently have owners looking for drivers for their straight trucks. We drove sprinter for them for a year and a half. I was pleased with the company.
