OTR Car Hauler Driver Jobs in Michigan — Now Hiring

TruckingJobsInUSA is actively hiring experienced Car Hauler drivers for over-the-road (OTR) positions based in Michigan. We are a CDL driver recruiting agency placing qualified drivers with vetted, well-established carriers across the United States — and we have immediate openings for drivers domiciled in and around Detroit, Michigan.

This is a full-time Car Hauler driving position paying $65,000 - $91,500/year depending on experience, lane, and safety record. Home time: Out 2–3 weeks. We work with multiple client carriers, so once you apply our recruiters match you to the opening that best fits your home-time, pay, and equipment preferences — there is no cost to you, ever.

Pay context for Michigan: the statewide CDL-A average is $58,800, and the strongest-paying metros are Detroit (about $64,200), Grand Rapids (about $59,800), Kalamazoo (about $57,400). Michigan sits below the national cost-of-living average (index 91), so pay stretches further here — adjusted for living costs the equivalent is roughly $64,615. Wage trend is currently stable — Michigan trucking wages are stable, driven by the automotive supply chain (Detroit's Big Three), cross-border freight with Canada via the Ambassador Bridge, and furniture manufacturing in Grand Rapids.

Height and length are the binding constraints on car-haul work here — Michigan allows 13'6" height and 53 ft trailer on interstates, longer combinations on state routes. Oversize handling: MDOT Permits Unit. Michigan's unique weight laws require understanding of axle spacing rules. Online permitting available.

Fuel tax in Michigan is $0.488 per gallon diesel + federal (among highest in US), which matters if you are comparing per-mile offers across state lines. Inspection climate: High. Michigan State Police Motor Carrier Division is very active with focus on weight compliance, border crossing credentials, and winter safety equipment.

How it works: apply with the quick form below (under 60 seconds, no resume needed), one of our recruiters calls you to confirm your experience and what you're looking for, and we set up interviews with the carriers that match. You choose the offer that's right for you.

We require a minimum of 12 months of verifiable CDL-A driving experience for this role. If you have at least one year behind the wheel and a clean record, we want to talk to you.
