CDL-A Company Driver - OTR - Dry Van

Why Choose Crete Carrier?

At Crete Carrier and Shaffer Trucking, we are actively seeking safe, experienced drivers to meet the growing needs of our customers. Our team is built on a foundation of stability and care for our people, a sentiment echoed by our drivers who cite our leadership's dedication as a key reason for staying.

We differentiate ourselves through a compensation model based on practical miles. This ensures drivers are paid for 3-5 percent more total miles per year compared to companies that pay based on short route miles. To further support your earning potential, we have recently raised our governed truck speed to 68 MPH on the cruise and 65 MPH on the pedal, allowing practical miles to roll in faster.

Beyond pay, we offer comprehensive and affordable health insurance, a matching 401k, and a robust profit-sharing plan. Our commitment to your financial future is demonstrated by contributing $11.5 million in profit sharing in 2025 and $103 million to employee retirement accounts since 2018.

The Role and Lifestyle

As an OTR CDL A Driver, you will be moving national freight, balancing the demands of the road with time at home. We offer a schedule designed for work-life balance: 21 Days Out, 1 Day Home for Every 6 Days.

Drivers consistently highlight the stability, equipment quality, and excellent benefits as defining features of working with us. As one driver, Brian Puff, noted: "When you have leadership that care so much about their people, it shows."
