OTR Truck Drivers

About Shaffer Trucking

At Shaffer Trucking, a proud member of the Crete Carrier Corporation family, we know that being an industry leader in driver pay is just the start. For over 58 years, we have built a reputation on stability, operating as a debt-free, family-owned business with long-term quality customers. Our commitment to our drivers is reflected in our industry-low turnover rates and a culture that values high-quality talent.

Our Mission and Culture

We believe in straightforward compensation without gimmicks. Our Leading Pay Plus program is designed to boost drivers' take-home pay immediately while securing their financial future through robust retirement options. We maintain a supportive environment where drivers can take their truck home, utilize our free rider program, and bring their pets along on the road. With 20 maintenance facilities nationally, we ensure ease of getting maintenance so you can focus on the road.

The Driver Experience

As a Shaffer driver, you will haul consistent miles on length-of-haul routes, never brokering freight or hauling brokered loads. We prioritize your safety and consistency, offering a mentor program to support your journey and a quarterly safety bonus. Our pay structure is easy to understand, featuring a competitive CPM rate and an optional per diem program. We are committed to your well-being with industry-leading benefits, including comprehensive health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, alongside a 401K and a significant profit-sharing plan that has distributed over $103 million to employee retirement accounts since 2018.
