Hiring CDL-A OTR Drivers near Charlotte, NC
Charlotte is our backyard. The city sits where I-85 and I-77 cross, feeding the Charlotte Inland Port and pushing automotive-component and food-processing freight in every direction - and MigWay's terminal is right down US-521 in Pineville. For a CDL-A driver living in Charlotte, that means the shortest possible run to the yard and an asset-based carrier that owns its trucks instead of leaning on a broker's load board.
Our Pineville, North Carolina terminal is only about 12 miles away, so Charlotte drivers can plug into our dry van OTR network across the East Coast, Northeast, Southwest and parts of the Midwest without a long haul just to get rolling. Expect 65 CPM with bonuses on all miles, a late-model automatic, and 24/7 in-house dispatch - OTR runs are still multi-day, but home is close to base.

“Equipment is top-notch. Clean trucks, governed at a reasonable speed, and maintained meticulously. I've been in the industry for 15 years, and this is by far the highest cpm and weekly gross I've ever made. Shoutout to the office—24/7 support is top level; saved my butt on a late-night receiver delay when nobody else was awake. Great hometime balance! They respect your home time and never try to force loads when you're supposed to break. Solid 5-star experience.”
