THE LIFE AS A KAISER LONG HAUL DRIVER

Our open deck trailer space sharing business model creates exciting challenges because we don't haul easy freight. This model can make your job feel like "organized chaos". We're looking for drivers that enjoy this challenge as much as they enjoy being on the road. You will coordinate customer deliveries and ensure that the freight arrives safely and on time. You will be able to schedule your own home time.

Before you start driving, you will train with our professionals to learn how we secure and tarp freight the Kaiser way. Orientation at our Wisconsin terminal takes about two weeks, we make sure you are 100% ready to hit the road before we release you for dispatch. Don't worry, we will take care of all your travel expenses and pay you during orientation.

ABOUT KAISER TRANSPORT

We only specialize in TSS (Trailer-Space-Sharing) long haul, open deck trucking. We are proficient in hauling machines, large tools, and equipment along with other double-drop, step-deck, and flatbed freight. Our trucks operate from coast-to-coast and Canada.

As a family-owned company, we promote a family atmosphere that creates a true connection between drivers, dispatchers, yard crew, mechanics, and support staff. We are 100% committed to safety which is why our Fleet Department performs all preventative maintenance and repairs on equipment, not Drivers.
