Why Drive for J&R Schugel?
At J&R Schugel, drivers aren't just hauling freight - they're building a future. Our OTR drivers are the backbone of a driver-powered company built on respect, reliability, and long-term growth. With modern equipment, consistent miles, and compensation designed to grow with you, every mile delivers more than a paycheck.
Through our ESOP ownership program, you don't just drive for the company - you own part of it. When our drivers rise, the entire company rises with them. That's the Schugel difference.
The Role
Whether you are hauling refrigerated goods or dry van freight, you will operate 2023+ trucks equipped with APUs, inverters, and automatic transmissions. The role offers steady OTR freight with no forced New York City dispatch. Drivers can expect to run 2,200-2,500+ miles per week on consistent lanes, typically staying out about two weeks at a time with planned home time built into a reliable work-rest rhythm.
For those interested in dedicated opportunities, some locations offer specific routes or regional lanes. Drivers hauling dry van freight may also earn additional compensation for detention, layover, and stop time.
Hiring Process
There is no deadline to apply; applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. To confirm specific pay details, bonus eligibility, or to discuss regional options, speak directly with a recruiter.
