DRIVER PAY
THE MORE YOU RUN, THE MORE YOU MAKE.
Tired of chasing advertised rates you never actually see? At Cooley Transport, what you see on this page is what you’ll make.

Add flexible home time, newer trucks, health insurance, and a 401(k) with company match, and you’ve got a place worth staying.

SIX WAYS TO DRIVE
PICK YOUR LANE
OTR, flatbed, local, dump, team, or your own truck – the freight’s there.
OVER THE ROAD
$0.58 – $0.62 per mile
Long-haul runs that keep you on the road and your miles high. If you’re built for the open road and want consistent work, this is your lane.
Flatbed
$0.66 – $0.70 per mile
Flatbed drivers who know how to secure a load are always in demand. This is hands-on hauling for drivers who take pride in their work.
teams
$0.28 – $0.32 per mile
Two drivers, one truck, maximum miles. Team driving is for drivers who want to maximize earnings and keep the freight moving.
Local
$23.50 per hour
Home every night, steady miles, no surprises. A local route with Cooley means consistent work without sacrificing your time at home.
HAUL / DUMP
Paid by the load
Short hauls, big loads, and home every night. If you know how to move dirt, we’ve got steady runs waiting for you.
OWNER OPERATOR
Percentage
You own the truck — we’ll keep it loaded. Partner with Cooley and get consistent freight without the headache of finding your own lanes.
