OTR Truck Drivers

About Shaffer Trucking

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 stability and long-term relationships with quality customers.

The Driver Experience

We are committed to retaining high-quality drivers, boasting the lowest turnover in the industry. Our culture is supported by a driver mentor program, a pet policy, and the unique option for drivers to take their truck home. We ensure ease of maintenance with 20 facilities nationally and offer a free rider program for family members.

Our freight operations are distinct because we never broker our freight or haul brokered loads. Drivers enjoy consistent miles, a favorable length of haul, and a straightforward pay structure with no gimmicks. We offer a practical miles program that provides 3-5% more miles per year compared to short routes, alongside an optional per diem program and a quarterly safety bonus.

Benefits and Stability

We offer industry-leading benefits, including comprehensive health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance. Our commitment to your future is evident in our 401K and profit sharing programs, which distributed $11.5 million in profit sharing in 2025 and have contributed $103 million to employee retirement accounts since 2018.

Equal Opportunity Employer

Shaffer Trucking is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status.
