About The Position

Strange Trip Inc. is hiring motivated, professional CDL Class A tractor-trailer drivers for local port operations, primarily hauling containers from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to warehouses, distribution centers, and customer locations throughout Southern California. The position is intended for drivers seeking local work with the opportunity to be home daily. Port and rail yard container-hauling experience is required; additional port experience is described as a plus. Dispatch works closely and transparently with drivers to maximize efficiency, productivity, and earnings. As the company expands under its own DOT authority and develops relationships with brokers and shippers, flexible, team-oriented drivers may have opportunities to grow with the company and benefit from stronger freight lanes over time. Strange Trip is a family-owned, safety-oriented carrier operating for FedEx and under its own DOT authority. The company describes a respectful, supportive work environment and emphasizes safety, reliability, and professionalism. Drivers use new Kenworth day cabs, which are maintained through a strict, frequent preventative maintenance program. The company plans to transition to Tesla semis at the end of 2026 or into 2027. Compensation is 33% of load revenue, plus a $150 monthly service and safety incentive and a year-end holiday bonus. The company pays for fuel, tolls, maintenance, insurance, and truck costs. Benefits include paid time off, health insurance options, an IRA retirement plan, paid holidays, and bonuses.
