OTR Truck Drivers

About Shaffer Trucking

At Shaffer Trucking, a proud member of the Crete Carrier Corporation family, we define leadership not just by pay, but by the total value we provide to our drivers. For over 58 years, our family-owned, debt-free company has built a reputation for stability and long-term quality partnerships. We are committed to being an industry leader in driver compensation through our Leading Pay Plus program, which is designed to boost take-home pay immediately while securing a robust retirement future.

The Driver Experience

Our mission is to attract and retain the highest-quality drivers in the industry, evidenced by our lowest turnover rates. We offer a straightforward, no-gimmicks compensation structure that includes competitive CPM rates, a quarterly safety bonus, and an optional per diem program. Drivers can expect consistent miles and direct freight without the complications of brokered loads, ensuring a reliable and predictable schedule.

We prioritize work-life balance and driver well-being. Our culture supports a unique "take the truck home" policy, a free rider program for family members, and a pet-friendly environment. To further support our team, we maintain 20 maintenance facilities nationwide for easy access to service. New drivers are welcomed with a mentor program and orientation pay to ensure a smooth transition into our family.

Benefits and Stability

Our benefits package is industry-leading, offering comprehensive health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance. We are deeply invested in our drivers' financial futures through a 401K plan and a significant profit-sharing program. In 2025 alone, we distributed $11.5 million in profit sharing, and since 2018, we have contributed over $103 million to employee retirement accounts.
