As the fall season approaches, the trucking industry is gearing up for one of the busiest times of the year. With the holiday season just around the corner, the demand for freight transportation increases, and at Cooper Freight, we are actively recruiting over the road (OTR) truck drivers to join our team. If you’re a seasoned truck driver or looking to start a new career on the open road, now is the perfect time to explore the opportunities that Cooper Freight has to offer.

Professional truck drivers are the backbone of the American economy. Visit any grocery store, business, or medical facility in the Mid-South, and that becomes immediately obvious. Whether you are buying clothing at a retail store or a filling up your tank at a gas station, nearly every part of our lives is impacted, and made possible, by the work of a professional truck driver.  

Truck drivers are the reason that our moveable properties, raw materials and finished goods get delivered from one location to the other. Without truck drivers, it would not be possible to move our stuff around.

We at Cooper Freight especially prioritize making truck drivers feel appreciated beyond the fact that we are freight shipping and trucking company. We consider the hard work that these heroes put into planning routes and meeting schedules for delivery.

There are more than 1.2 million trucking companies in the United States, and yet most people have little to no idea how this service can help them. It is a billion-dollar industry, even bigger than air transportation. Here are key facts that most people don’t know about the trucking industry.

Everybody loves the summer season. It is an opportunity for us to feel warmer, and experience longer nights. Summer makes it possible to go on the vacations we have dreamt about and to enjoy all the fun there is.

As a qualified driver, do you want to attain financial freedom with a job that gives you peace of mind and lets you spend up to 97% of your weekends at home with your family and loved ones?
