Job Description

R+L Carriers is a respected family-owned and privately held transportation company established in 1965, with decades of experience dedicated to providing exceptional logistics and freight services throughout the United States. Known for its commitment to superior customer service, R+L Carriers operates through efficient administration and innovative approaches that set the company apart in the competitive transportation and distribution industry. The company boasts a strong culture built on respect, honesty, and valuing each employee as a key contributor to its ongoing growth and success. Service centers like the one in Milwaukee, WI form an important part of the company's extensive network that ensures smooth and reliable freight delivery across various regions. R+L Carriers operates with a philosophy that while many carriers can transport freight, their employees' dedication and professionalism create unique value for their customers. The company also strongly supports diversity and inclusion, providing equal employment opportunities to all applicants and offering reasonable accommodations in the hiring process to support individuals with disabilities or other needs.

R+L Carriers is currently seeking reliable and skilled Class A Linehaul Truck Drivers to join their Milwaukee, WI Service Center team. This is a full-time employment opportunity with annual earnings of up to $95,000. In this role, drivers are responsible for pulling van trailers up to 53 feet in length or double trailers between service centers and turn-point locations, ensuring freight is transported safely and efficiently. One of the key highlights of this position is that drivers are home every day, enabling them to maintain a balanced lifestyle with family and personal time. Furthermore, the company offers an excellent benefits package, including paid vacation after just 90 days of employment and access to exclusive employee resorts located in popular destinations such as Daytona Beach, FL; Big Bear Lake, CA; Pigeon Forge, TN; and Ocean Isle Beach, NC. This attention to employee satisfaction and well-being reflects the company’s comprehensive approach to workforce health, productivity, and happiness.

The role requires adherence to strict safety standards, including passing a Department of Transportation (DOT) physical, drug screening, and a successful road test to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements. Drivers must possess a Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) and have at least one year of verifiable Class A driving experience within the last three years. Maintaining a clean driving record free from serious commercial violations is essential for this position. Drivers must also demonstrate physical capability to bend, lift, and stoop as necessary to perform their duties effectively and safely. Preferred qualifications include additional endorsements for doubles/triples, tanker, and hazardous materials (haz-mat), along with experience in hauling hazardous materials and less-than-truckload (LTL) freight. The company values dependability highly, as reliable transportation is critical to meeting customer delivery expectations.

Joining R+L Carriers as a Class A Linehaul Driver means becoming part of a company that values professional growth, respects its workforce, and delivers excellent service to customers consistently. Drivers who excel in this role benefit not only from competitive compensation but also from a supportive and dynamic workplace environment that promotes work-life balance and career development. This position is ideal for experienced truck drivers seeking stable employment with daily home time and a reputable carrier recognized for its employee-focused culture and strong industry standing.
