Reefer Trucking Jobs in West Virginia — FAQs
How much do reefer truck drivers make in West Virginia?

Sign-on bonuses are widely advertised in this market, but the amount, the qualifying period and the clawback terms differ by carrier — read the offer letter rather than the recruiting ad, and ask when the money actually lands.

West Virginia sees reefer demand peak from April through August during produce and poultry season. Holiday frozen food shipments create a second peak in October through December.
