At Crete Carrier and Shaffer Trucking, we are seeking more safe, experienced drivers to meet the evolving needs of our customers. Our drivers are paid based on practical miles, meaning you earn for 3-5 percent more total miles per year compared to companies that pay based on short route miles. Additionally, those practical miles accumulate faster now that we have raised our governed truck speed to 68 MPH on the cruise and 65 MPH on the pedal.
We offer comprehensive and affordable health insurance, a matching 401(k), and a profit-sharing plan that contributed $11.5 million in profit sharing in 2025 and $103 million to employee retirement accounts since 2018.
As an OTR CDL A Driver, you will move national freight for our team. We offer a schedule of 21 Days Out and 1 Day Home for Every 6 Days. Our starting pay ranges from $.64 to $.67 CPM, with the top 50% of drivers averaging $101,176 per year.
