Job Description

We are looking for experienced OTR drivers to haul temperature-controlled freight in 53-foot refrigerated trailers. You will transport produce, dairy, frozen foods, meat, pharmaceuticals, and other perishable goods that require precise temperature management throughout the trip. This means monitoring your reefer unit, checking temps at every stop, and ensuring the cold chain stays intact from pickup to delivery.

Reefer freight pays more than standard dry van because the stakes are higher. A temperature excursion can destroy an entire load worth $50,000 or more. We need drivers who take that responsibility seriously, follow proper pre-cool and continuous-monitoring procedures, and communicate proactively with dispatch when something does not look right. Delivery windows are tighter than dry van — grocery DCs and food distributors expect on-time performance.

You will run primarily on high-demand produce lanes during peak season (California, Florida, Arizona, Texas) and year-round refrigerated freight the rest of the time. Expect 2,300 to 2,900 miles per week with strong freight availability. If you have a CDL-A and at least one year of OTR experience (reefer experience preferred but not required — we will train the right driver), apply today.

Requirements

  • Valid CDL-A license
  • Minimum 1 year of verifiable OTR experience
  • Reefer experience preferred but not required — willing to train
  • Clean MVR — no major violations in the past 3 years
  • Current DOT medical card
  • Must be at least 21 years old
  • Ability to monitor and operate reefer unit controls
  • Strong attention to detail for temperature-sensitive cargo

Benefits

  • Premium mileage pay: $0.58 - $0.75 per mile (reefer premium included)
  • Produce season bonus pay on high-demand lanes
  • Weekly direct deposit
  • Full medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid orientation with travel reimbursement
  • Late-model reefer units maintained on strict schedules
  • Consistent freight year-round — no seasonal slowdowns
  • Dedicated dispatch team for reefer loads
