Trucking the way it should have been all along.
Safe Way Carrier has been keeping drivers rolling since 2011. Weekly pay, all miles paid, and a dispatch team that picks up the phone when you call. No automated runaround. No getting treated like a truck number. There’s a reason why our drivers tend to stick around.

Why drivers stay with Safe Way Carrier
A different kind of trucking company
If you've driven OTR for a while, you've probably been burned somewhere. Promised one thing in orientation, handed another by week three. We built Safe Way to be the opposite of that.
Here, your dispatcher knows you by name. There's no micromanaging and no forced dispatch. When you call after hours, you get our people, not a third-party answering service. And when something breaks down, you get paid for the time you're sitting, not a shrug.
We're family-owned, and we run the company that way. Drivers who've been here a few years tell us the same thing: they don't want to go anywhere else.
Pay you can plan a life around
We put our rates on the website because we don't have anything to hide.
Reefer: $0.60 per mile to start, up to $0.65 after your first quarterly review
Dry van: $0.53 per mile to start, up to $0.60 after your first quarterly review
All miles paid, not just loaded miles
Weekly pay, plus breakdown, detention, and layover pay
One week of paid vacation after your first year
Health insurance for W-2 drivers, with Safe Way covering half the premium
W-2 or 1099 — your choice
Referral bonus, DOT inspection bonus, and performance bonuses
Late-model trucks. A yard worth coming back to.
You'll run a well-maintained, late-model truck with a fridge, cabin heater, and APU on newer units, all serviced by our in-house maintenance team. If your truck's in the shop for more than a few days, we'll get you into another one so you keep earning.
Back at the yard, the driver's lounge has a pool table, TVs, a two-story gym, private restrooms with showers, and snacks and drinks on hand. Pets ride along, too. This is a place built for the people who actually do the work.
OTR across all 48, with strong Midwest-to-East-Coast reefer lanes
There's always a load. Run as much as you want, with flexible home time when you need it. Most of our dry van work is drop and hook, so you spend less time waiting at docks and more time turning miles.
Are you a shipper who needs freight moved right?
Safe Way Carrier specializes in refrigerated and dry van freight across all 48 states, with deep cold-chain expertise. Ice cream, frozen foods, temperature-sensitive commodities: this is what we do best. You'll work directly with people who solve problems, not pass them off.
