Hiring CDL-A OTR Drivers near Raleigh, NC
Raleigh anchors the Triangle, where pharmaceuticals, biotech and food-processing freight rides I-40 and I-95 between the Research corridor and the East Coast. For a CDL-A driver here, OTR usually means chasing the next broker load - MigWay works differently. We're an asset-based dry van carrier hiring company drivers out of the Raleigh area to run our own trucks on planned lanes.
Our home base is the Pineville, North Carolina terminal, roughly 160 miles southwest via I-85, and Raleigh drivers plug into our dry van OTR network across the East Coast, Northeast, Southwest and parts of the Midwest. You'll earn 65 CPM with bonuses on every mile, drive a late-model automatic, and lean on 24/7 in-house dispatch with live tracking - in-state base, planned home time.

What Drivers Say About Driving for MigWay
MigWay hires CDL-A OTR drivers in the Raleigh, NC area and across North Carolina. Here's what one of our drivers had to say:
“Great hometime balance! They respect your home time and never try to force loads when you're supposed to break. Dispatchers like Frank and Mike are absolute rockstars when it comes to keeping you loaded and rolling. They actually pay detention, layover, and breakdown pay without making you beg for it. Clean equipment with low miles, built-in APUs, and comfortable cabs standard. If you do your job right, they take care of you 100%.”
