CDL A Solo Truck Driver - Tulsa OTR Division
About The Position
Our routes often begin or conclude in this region, giving local drivers reliable home time on nationwide runs doing over the road services. We are actively hiring experienced Class A CDL Solo OTR Truck Drivers for our modern fleet who live in the Tulsa, OK area and surrounding communities. Tulsa is a strong market for us in Oklahoma with consistent freight demand. Pay Details & Realistic Expectations: Pay is performance-based. In 2025, 87% of our drivers went with the 30% percentage plan because it consistently delivered better earnings in the current market. Slow season (Q1) typically ranges from $1,900–$2,100 per week with some weeks hitting $2,400. Peak seasons (Q2 and Q4) usually run $2,100–$2,400 with some $2,700 weeks. Q3 is somewhere between. This seasonal pattern has been reliable for the past 25 years. A few exceptional top performers reached $145,000 last year driving full time. Pay Options: Percentage Pay (Best Option for Most Solos) - We pay up to 30% of line haul plus bonuses. We intentionally keep miles lower on percentage (2,000–2,500 in slow season and up to 3,000 in busy season) because it maximizes earnings, reduces fuel costs, and helps prevent burnout. Miles Pay Option - Switch at any time. Up to 65 cents per mile plus bonuses based on experience and record. Typical miles: 2,500–3,600 per week. Team Pay (Miles Only) - Up to 75¢ per mile split. Average $2,000–$2,600 per driver per week. Note: Solo percentage pay is currently the stronger choice in this market. What Makes DSL Express Different: We are a well-established company with 25 years in business since 2001 — large enough to offer strong support and modern equipment, yet small enough that every driver counts. We welcome veterans and give fair-chance employment to anyone ready to work hard. 24/7 dispatch from three offices with real experienced staff. Modern trucks (mostly automatics with some manuals available) equipped with fridges and inverters. Company-owned mechanic shops in Chicago and Las Vegas. Dedicated dispatchers who learn your style and preferences. All no-touch freight in dry van or reefer trailers. Strong carrier partnerships that combine big-company resources with a family-owned feel.
