COMPANY DRIVER CAREERS
WHERE DO YOU LIVE?
Select your home state either on the dropdown or map to learn more about our opportunities where you live. Drivers must have one year of tractor trailer experience to apply with Crete Carrier, Shaffer Trucking, or Hunt Transportation.
WHY CHOOSE CRETE CARRIER?
At Crete Carrier and Shaffer Trucking we need more safe, experienced drivers to meet the needs of our customers.
Crete, Shaffer, and Hunt drivers are paid based on practical miles. This means drivers are paid for 3-5 percent more total miles per year than companies that pay based on short route miles. Another added incentive is that those practical miles roll in faster now that we’ve recently raised our governed truck speed to 68 MPH on the cruise and 65 MPH on the pedal.
We also offer comprehensive and affordable health insurance, matching 401k and a profit-sharing plan that contributed $11 million in 2024 and more than $91.5 million to employee retirement accounts since 2018.
“STABILITY. EQUIPMENT. GREAT PAY. EXCELLENT BENEFITS. WHEN YOU HAVE LEADERSHIP THAT CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THEIR PEOPLE, IT SHOWS.”
