CDL A Owner Operators

Clark Transfer is a renowned transportation company with a legacy spanning over 75 years, specializing exclusively in the entertainment transport industry. Serving the vibrant world of Broadway productions, concerts, theatrical tours, and live entertainment across North America, Clark Transfer has established itself as the trusted partner for high-value, specialized freight services. Unlike ordinary freight companies, Clark Transfer exclusively focuses on transporting entertainment equipment and stage materials, ensuring timely, secure, and efficient delivery that keeps the show on the road and the entertainment industry thriving. This unique niche demands a highly professional approach, and Clark Transfer prides itself on maintaining the gold standard for owner operators who value premium freight and superior compensation.

This opportunity is ideal for solo and team owner operators who want to maximize earning potential while driving fewer miles compared to traditional over-the-road (OTR) freight hauling. Solo owner operators can earn between $200,000 and $250,000 or more annually, while teams have the potential to earn from $300,000 to $350,000 plus annually. Clark Transfer guarantees weekly minimum earnings, with solos earning a minimum of $3,500 per week worked and teams guaranteed at least $5,000 per week worked. On average, solo drivers can expect to drive fewer than 85,000 miles annually, a significant reduction compared to typical OTR miles, which means more time at home and less wear on equipment.

The company operates an exclusive owner operator fleet, deliberately choosing not to hire company drivers or lease-purchase operators. This strategy ensures that owner operators receive the focus and support they deserve, fostering a dedicated community of professional drivers. Year-round freight availability means steady work, and all freight is no-touch, eliminating the physical burden of loading and unloading, which further enhances the quality of life for Clark Transfer operators. The company provides customized 48-foot and 53-foot trailers tailored to the unique demands of entertainment freight.

Clark Transfer also offers an attractive array of additional benefits to enhance driver compensation and satisfaction. Quarterly bonuses up to $5,000 provide an opportunity to increase earnings significantly. New drivers can earn a $5,000 referral bonus, encouraging experienced professionals to grow the network of skilled operators. Compensation includes paid loaded, empty, bobtail, and detention miles, coupled with competitive mileage rates such as 75 cents per mile for bobtail plus fuel surcharge, and $1.00 per mile for empty trailers plus fuel surcharge. Tour base pay ranges from $500 to $700 or more per day, with detention pay at $250 per day for singles and $275 for teams, further supplementing income.

Clark Transfer offers a fuel price guarantee averaging $1.60 per gallon or less, ensuring cost efficiencies that protect driver earnings from fuel price fluctuations. Drivers benefit from paid cargo liability insurance, as well as covered tolls, permits, and fuel taxes, reducing out-of-pocket expenses. The company supports a health insurance program, underscoring its commitment to the well-being of its owner operators.

Ideal candidates must be at least 23 years old, hold a valid Class A CDL, and possess more than two years of over-the-road driving experience, including at least six months in the past year. Operators must own a tractor model year 2021 or newer and be willing to run nationwide routes, reflecting the expansive reach of Clark Transfer's entertainment transportation service.
