Great Lakes Western, Inc

EMPLOYMENT

We are seeking safe qualified drivers that reside in both Wisconsin and eastern Idaho, and our freight network will allow you generous time off at either of those areas.

Success is a shared destination for the driver, the carrier and the customer: We want everyone to be successful!

So when the days get long, when the weather is unfavorable, when the schedule gets disrupted, our dispatch team works hard to get you back on schedule. Our preventative maintenance and up-time leads the industry, but we also have a generous accessorial pay package that goes beyond just cents per mile

We require a driver commitment of 6 to 10 consecutive days to complete these runs. Time off between those shifts is negotiable from 2 to 5 days, but we work hard to accommodate all requests for additional home time.

Making sure that you're home for those special family events is a priority for us! Plus, our network allows to pinpoint a return date before you even depart, allowing you to make plans well in advance. "Plan the work, work the plan" is a favorite quote.
