OTR Oversized Driver Jobs in Oregon — Now Hiring

TruckingJobsInUSA is actively hiring experienced Oversized drivers for over-the-road (OTR) positions based in Oregon. 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 Portland, Oregon.

This is a full-time Oversized driving position paying $68,000 - $96,500/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 Oregon: the statewide CDL-A average is $58,800, and the strongest-paying metros are Portland (about $64,200), Salem (about $57,400), Eugene (about $56,200). Oregon runs above the national cost-of-living average (index 113), so the headline number buys less than it does in a cheaper state — adjusted for living costs it works out closer to $52,035. Wage trend is currently stable — Oregon trucking pay is moderate, impacted by the state's weight-mile tax (instead of fuel tax) that affects operating costs. Portland port activity and timber hauling provide consistent work.

Running flatbed in Oregon means working inside a 80,000 lbs (105,500 lbs on some state routes with permit) gross limit with 20,000 lbs single axle, 34,000 lbs tandem. Oversize and overweight loads go through ODOT Motor Carrier Transportation Division. Permits available online. Cascade Range crossings have strict routing.

Winter operating requirement: Mandatory chain carry from November 1 to March 31. ODOT traction tire and chain requirements on mountain passes (I-84 Columbia Gorge, US-26 Mt. Hood, I-5 Siskiyou Pass).

Fuel tax in Oregon is $0.40 per gallon diesel + weight-mile tax (no fuel tax for trucks over 26,000 lbs, replaced by weight-mile tax), which matters if you are comparing per-mile offers across state lines. Inspection climate: High. Oregon State Police motor carrier division is active. Weight-mile tax compliance is heavily enforced at weigh stations.

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.
