Drivers
High Country Transportation, Inc. knows that the foundation of our success is dependent upon great drivers to serve our valued customers. High Country Transportation, Inc. only wants the best drivers on the road and we are willing to give top pay for top drivers. In addition to the great wage, all OTR trucks are late model Peterbilt, Kenworth and Volvo tractors equipped with APU units so drivers can be comfortable on their downtime. Three maintenance centers keep trucks and trailers in top running condition. Our driver wage is based on PC Miler Practical Miles and all miles are paid the same loaded and empty.
Refrigerated Division:
Refrigerated Drivers are based out of our Dallas, TX (Lancaster) terminal and mostly run lanes in the Midwest, Upper Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. We do run a minimal amount of California and New England but we do not go to New York City. Drivers can expect medium length hauls (894 miles average) and are out 2-4 weeks at a time depending on where they live. We expect all drivers to get over 11,000 miles per month. States we prefer to hire drivers in are Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Western Tennessee and Kentucky. As of January 01, 2012 drivers in the reefer division can earn up to $.50 cents per mile* which includes base wage and attainable bonuses. Trucks are governed at 65 mph pedal speed and 68 mph cruise control speed. Layover is paid after waiting 24 hours for dispatch*. 99% no- touch freight.
Over-the-Road Dry Bulk/Hopperbottom:
Hopperbottom Drivers are based out of our Cortez, CO terminal and mostly run lanes in the Western 11 states and the Midwest. We do go all the way to the East Coast at times but usually return right back to the West. Drivers need to be prepared to run 48 states and be out for 2-4 weeks depending on where they live. Average length of haul in the hopperbottom division is 600 miles but there is usually minimal waiting to load and unload, 22% of the miles are empty (you are paid the same rate loaded or empty), and you almost never have to deal with a lumper or time definite appointment (there is usually a window when you have to load and unload). States we prefer to hire drivers out of are Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. Drivers in the hopperbottom division can earn up to $.40 cents per mile which includes base wage and attainable bonuses. This is a great trucking job with high miles and a minimum amount of loading and unloading hassle.
