Ready for a Real Change? Classic Carriers Has a Driving Career for You

Let’s be honest. The traditional workday was not designed with everyone in mind. Clocking in at eight, clocking out at five, doing it all over again tomorrow. For a lot of people, that routine stopped working for them a long time ago. Maybe you are a parent looking to be home with your family more often. Maybe you do your best work when the sun is barely up and the highways are clear. Or maybe you are just ready to stop letting a rigid schedule run your life.

At Classic Carriers, we understand that people work best under different schedules. That is why we have built a driving culture around one simple idea: your schedule should work with you. 

You Are in the Driver’s Seat

When you join the Classic Carriers team, you are joining a company that wants to work with your lifestyle. We offer a variety of driver positions designed to fit real people with real lives:

• Local Drivers: For most local drivers, that means getting home daily, staying connected to your routine, your family and your life. Whether you are finishing up an afternoon run or wrapping a nighttime route, you are not far from home.
• Route Drivers: There is something to be said for knowing where you are going. Most of our over-the-road drivers are home around three days every other week, and we move the same freight to the same customers regularly. Familiar routes, familiar faces and a road that starts to feel like second nature.
• Owner-Operators: You run your business, we have got your back. Every week, our team reviews owner-operator settlements and works to make adjustments when something outside your control cuts into your bottom line. Classic Carriers has a big commitment to your success.

Life Does Not Stop When You Are on the Road

One of the biggest misconceptions about trucking is that you have to sacrifice your personal life to make a living. At Classic Carriers, we have proven otherwise.

Company drivers can bring a family rider along after 90 days, and dogs and cats under 40 lbs. are always welcome in the cab. And when you roll back through our Versailles, Ohio, terminal, the driver lounge is there with showers, free laundry, a kitchen, cable TV and recliners waiting for you. The road and real life work together with our Classic Carriers team. 

A Family Company That Treats You Like Family

Forty-plus years in this industry means something. It means we have had time to figure out what drivers actually need, and we built a company around it. It means we have seen what works, what does not and what keeps good drivers around for the long haul. At Classic Carriers, that experience did not just make us better at logistics. It made us better at taking care of the people who keep this company moving.

We recognize our Driver of the Month for safe driving and on-time performance throughout the year. We celebrate Driver Appreciation Week each September with cookouts, raffles and giveaways. And our Million Miles Club honors drivers who have hit one million miles behind the wheel with Classic, with many drivers even surpassing two and five million miles. 

After 40 years, that is still who we are >>
