What is a local driver?

Local truck drivers haul freight typically within a 200-mile radius and are home every night. This allows the drivers to spend more time with friends and family while enjoying time out on the road.

Local Driver Testimonials

I have had offers ranging between 70cpm up to 90cpm here recently but honestly, I love my local position here at PTI. I have had two different offers of local jobs here in Jackson Missouri one at $27 dollars and one at $28.50 an hour. Now normally I am all about making better money but the fact is I stay simply because of the office people. Chris Casper is the best dispatcher I have ever had and when I tell other people about what I do they think I am full of it. PTI is a great company and works with the drivers about any issue they may be having. The fact I feel free and not being forced to do anything is a good feeling and that's something you can't put a price on. I recommend PTI to any driver I run across that is giving me an ear full about their company. This is the most laid back place I have ever worked.

I feel PTI choose me when everyone else was closing the door. I love working for this company they have given me opportunities where I could be home every day and the OTR experience that I need it. I also love that family mean everything to them and they don’t look at as just a truck driver or a number

Local Driver

I chose PTI for their local division. I needed something that could keep me home daily, with stable pay, and allow flexibility for me to live the lifestyle I live. I stay because it feels like I matter to the leadership and I've always had good people to work with. I, personally, feel PTI and I are a great fit together. I genuinely enjoy my job.
