Work your way up to become a top driver — climb the ladder to better loads & premier pay
What Truck Driving Jobs Pay the Most?
Haul Oversized Loads to Advance Your Career
Lone Star encourages all its drivers to further their careers by participating in our Advancement Program. After all, you earn more by hauling bigger loads. And our best drivers enjoy taking on oversize, open-deck challenges.
It’s easiest to move up the ranks in one of our OTR flatbed company driver jobs — the truck driving jobs that usually pay the most at Lone Star. Occasionally a driver in one of our regional flatbed divisions wants to increase their pay and job satisfaction by tackling wind blades, construction equipment or other heavy haul freight. In that case, they need only talk to their dispatcher or driver manager about working on loads that take them up the ladder.
