Job Description

Job Description

CDL-A Owner Operators – Open Deck Division | Drive for yourself. Partner with a company that stands for something bigger.

At Bennett Motor Express, we don’t just offer freight — we offer freedom, family, and a foundation of faith that’s helped independent contractors thrive for more than 50 years. Founded by Marcia Taylor in 1974 and still family-owned and operated, Bennett is built on the belief that when we put people first, everything else follows. We proudly serve America with integrity, patriotism, and excellence — and we treat every contractor like part of our own.

We’re looking for CDL-A Owner Operators who want more than just miles. If you’re ready to run your business, keep more of what you earn, and partner with a company that shares your values, there’s a place for you here.

Divisions Now Hiring:

  • Flatbed
  • Step Deck
  • Heavy Haul

What You’ll Get:

✅ Orientation Bonus – $1,000

✅ Fast Pay – Every day can be payday

✅ Earn up to 74.7% of line haul revenue

✅ Industry-Leading Fuel Discounts – Save ~$5,000/year on average

✅ No Forced Dispatch – You choose your loads

✅ Tire & Parts Discounts

✅ Safety Bonus – Up to $3,000 annually

✅ Business Support – Accounting, load alerts & back-office help

✅ 24/7 Chaplain Support – Because your spirit matters too

✅ Pet & Rider Programs – Bring family along for the ride

✅ Virtual or In-Person Orientation – Your choice

✅ Medical Insurance Program Options

Limited availability – Apply today!

Requirements:

  • CDL A
  • 1 year of Verifiable OTR CDL A Experience

Why Contractors Choose Bennett:

  • Faith-based, family-first culture
  • You’re in business for yourself, not by yourself
  • We exist to serve people, create opportunity, make a difference, and honor God in all we do
  • We believe in loyalty, safety, financial strength, and giving back to the communities we serve

At Bennett, you don’t just lease on — you level up. Let’s build something meaningful together.
