Sick of Trucking BS? There’s a Smarter Way to Work as a CDL Driver

There’s a lot that sucks about being a CDL driver.

Getting paid to guide 40 tons of freight and metal from one end of the country to the other is badass. But truck drivers like you aren’t just badass… you’re essential. Your career craves sacrifice, training, and dedication.

However, the trucking industry is broken. The problems of the industry (greed, exploitation, dishonesty) have been around for so long that many think the industry cannot and will not get better.

But it has to. You deserve an industry that treats you right.

Truck drivers are often seen as loud and outspoken about the things that bother them. That’s because despite their serious demands for improvement, the industry still doesn’t listen.

We hear you loud and clear!

And to prove it, we’ve created a smarter way to work as a truck driver based on the following beliefs:

You need to get paid what you deserve. At the very least, that means getting the pay you signed up for without feeling cheated by the small print.

You need to feel respected by your company and feel like your basic needs are taken care of. A job can get money in your pocket, but only a good job can provide you security, respect, recognition, and room for growth.

You need a contract written with your interests in mind. We reached out to our trucking community and found out that many drivers refuse to sign a contract altogether out of fear of being cheated down the line.

You have the right not to be lied to. You deserve to know that the job you apply to will deliver on its promises.

You should not lose your benefits each time you start a new job. Many companies will make you wait months to receive the benefits you need, but that shouldn’t be the case.

You deserve to be treated with respect. Respect, much like ‘family’, is a word thrown around often in trucking. We believe that actions speak louder than words. To us, respect means all guaranteeing you all of the above and having your back – not in theory but in practice.

We love the trucking industry, and our new product celebrates, empowers, and rewards truck drivers for their hustle and ambition.

Sounds too good to be true? Here’s exactly how it works.

Many drivers have already reached out to us about this offer with some important questions. Let's answer a few of them here.

Does this cost you anything? Short answer: No.

You still get paid weekly, you’re not obligated to any long-term commitments or contracts, you can opt out at any time, and it costs you nothing.

To answer another common question: No, we do not take a percentage taken off your pay.

There are no hidden fees and no funny business.

We also try to make sure you are as free as possible to work for the carrier of your choice. That means that even if the carrier you have in mind isn’t currently on Lanefinder, you can still contact your Lanefinder representative and inform them of your choice. We’ll do the rest and try to get the carrier to agree to your terms.

How we guarantee you won’t be cheated.
