OTR Dry Van Driver Jobs in South Carolina — Now Hiring

TruckingJobsInUSA is actively hiring experienced Dry Van drivers for over-the-road (OTR) positions based in South Carolina. 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 Charleston, South Carolina.

This is a full-time Dry Van driving position paying $50,500 - $71,000/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 South Carolina: the statewide CDL-A average is $54,800, and the strongest-paying metros are Charleston (about $60,200), Greenville (about $57,400), Columbia (about $55,200). South Carolina sits below the national cost-of-living average (index 91), so pay stretches further here — adjusted for living costs the equivalent is roughly $60,220. Wage trend is currently rising — South Carolina trucking wages are rising as the Port of Charleston undergoes major expansion and the Upstate I-85 corridor attracts automotive manufacturing (BMW, Volvo) and distribution centers.

Speed limits for trucks in South Carolina run 70 mph (same as cars), with 70 mph on rural interstates. Tolls: Southern Connector (Greenville area toll road). Cross Island Parkway (Hilton Head). Limited toll infrastructure.

Fuel tax in South Carolina is $0.28 per gallon diesel + federal, which matters if you are comparing per-mile offers across state lines. Inspection climate: Moderate. SC Highway Patrol focuses on I-85, I-95, and I-26 to Charleston port corridor.

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.
