The Life As A Kaiser Long Haul Driver

Our open deck trailer space sharing business model creates exciting challenges because we don't haul easy freight. You will coordinate customer deliveries and ensure that the freight arrives safely and on time. You will be able to schedule your own home time. Before you start driving, you will train with our professionals to learn how we secure and tarp freight the Kaiser way. Orientation at our Wisconsin terminal takes about two weeks, we make sure you are 100% ready to hit the road before we release you for dispatch. Don’t worry, we will take care of all your travel expenses and pay you during orientation.
