At Shaffer Trucking, part of Crete Carrier Corporation, we know that being an industry leader in driver pay is just the start. Our Leading Pay Plus program includes extras designed to boost drivers' take-home pay immediately while providing more for retirement later. With over 58 years in business, we are a debt-free, family-owned company built on long-term relationships with quality customers.
We pride ourselves on having the lowest turnover in the industry, a testament to our commitment to high-quality drivers. We offer a supportive environment where you can take your truck home, utilize our free rider program, and bring your pet along. Our maintenance network is easily accessible with 20 facilities nationally, ensuring you stay on the road.
Our freight operations are distinct: we do not broker our freight, nor do we haul brokered freight. This ensures consistent miles, a favorable length of haul, and a straightforward pay structure with no gimmicks. Drivers benefit from a mentor program and a pay practical miles model that offers 3-5% more miles per year compared to short routes.
Our compensation package is industry-leading. Drivers earn between $.66 to $.69 CPM, with the top 50% averaging $101,176 annually and $1,945 weekly. We offer an optional per diem program, orientation pay of $120 per day, and a quarterly safety bonus.
Beyond base pay, we provide comprehensive insurance coverage including health, dental, vision, life, and disability. Our 401K plan is supported by a robust profit-sharing program, highlighted by $11.5 million in profit sharing distributed in 2025 and over $103 million contributed to employee retirement accounts since 2018.
