Hiring CDL-A OTR Drivers near Kannapolis, NC
Kannapolis sits on I-85 just north of Charlotte, an old textile-mill town reborn around a research campus and light manufacturing. At roughly 37 miles from MigWay's Pineville terminal, it's close enough that home base is a short run down the interstate. Freight moves easily here between the Charlotte Inland Port and the I-85 corridor.
From Kannapolis you'll run dry van OTR across the East Coast, Northeast, Southwest and parts of the Midwest, with I-85 the on-ramp to the network. OTR still means multi-day trips, but the short distance to the yard makes home time predictable, at 65 CPM with bonuses on all miles in a late-model automatic.
