Hiring CDL-A OTR Drivers near Salisbury, NC
Salisbury sits on I-85 midway between Charlotte and the Triad, a historic rail town that still moves distribution and manufacturing freight along the corridor. At roughly 55 miles from MigWay's Pineville terminal, the yard is an easy run down I-85, making Salisbury a practical home base for OTR drivers in the central Piedmont.
From here you'll run dry van OTR across the East Coast, Northeast, Southwest and parts of the Midwest, with I-85 your gateway north or south. OTR means multi-day runs with predictable home time, and every mile pays 65 CPM with bonuses in a late-model automatic backed by 24/7 in-house dispatch.

What Drivers Say About Driving for MigWay
MigWay hires CDL-A OTR drivers in the Salisbury, NC area and across North Carolina. Here's what one of our drivers had to say:
“No hidden pay cuts or shady deductions. What they quote you in orientation is exactly what you get paid. Brakes, tires, PM service—everything is handled promptly. You never have to worry about scale house inspections. Dispatch treats you like an actual human being with a family, not just a truck number. Hometime is guaranteed. When you request to be home on Friday, you're parked in your driveway Friday. Couldn't ask for a better carrier to roll with!”
