CDL-A Drivers & Owner Operators Wanted

Crafted Staff is recruiting qualified Class A CDL drivers and owner operators for oilfield hauling, frac sand transportation, and dry bulk trucking in West Texas.

Applicants from all U.S. states are welcome , provided they meet the applicable requirements and are willing and able to work in Texas. The work is not remote; contractors must be able to report to and perform work in the operating area.

Two opportunities are available depending on whether you need a truck provided or operate your own tractor.

Opportunity 1: CDL-A Driver – Truck & Equipment Provided

Compensation: 25% of weekly billed revenue

• Weekly settlements
• Average weekly gross contractor earnings of approximately $3,000, with a reported typical range of $2,500–$4,000, depending on billed revenue and available loads
• Semi truck and trailer provided
• Fuel card, maintenance, and insurance for company-provided equipment
• Automatic sleeper trucks equipped with a bed, refrigerator, microwave, and GPS
• No in-cab cameras
