Cooke Trucking, Inc. - we have a certain pride in this name. The transportation industry has seen them and trusted them since 1958, primarily in Mount Airy, North Carolina, and they became incorporated in 1971; that's their story. Building up a coast-to-coast reputation is a feat they can boast about. Quality service is the undeniable core of this reputation - nothing less than out of this world. Distinguishing themselves in such an industry is not an easy task, but they value customer satisfaction. Highway and worker safety are important to them too, not forgetting commitments like those. Their rates are quite competitive indeed. They have an experienced team; every job is always fitted with the right tools - now that's part of being Cooke Trucking. Proving true, there's a visible, loyalty-inspired customer base. They're accomplished at keeping their customers because Cooke Trucking, you see, has trust as the name of their customer service game - a fused fortification with a reliable reputation. Even with time's passage, Cooke Trucking is still very much in play in transportation, remaining relevant.

Cooke used to be a family oriented place to work , but now you’re just another number. They have no respect for there senior drivers and if you believe the hype that they are putting out there , good luck !
Hi guys! Today one of your drivers blocked fuel pump on Pilot truck stop in Arizona in the morning and please look how he react on several people tell him that he is wrong….. He has ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT FOR OTHER DRIVERS. In same time truck stop was completely empty and has a lot of space for parking.
Friendly company great training program for new drivers
Great place to start your OTR life.
James has the best head game in the industry. Top notch glizzy swallowing skills. Keep it going little guy.
I've been here going on 6 years all in all been a great place to work. They are friendly, great pay since recent raises flexible when you got something to be home for. Your not a number they know you by name which is what has kept me here. Really gonna hate to leave this place, lately not being able to maintain a normal schedule can't make plans never know when gonna be home.
Great company, good trainers, and decent starter pay with incentives. Longest trip has been 6 days and you get used to sleeping with the truck moving. I wrote that first paragraph when I first started and now I've been with Cooke for about a year. My opinion has only grown more positive for this company. The owner and those in the office may be jerks sometimes and they can be rude as hell but they value their employees. They've gone out of their way a few times now to see that I'm taken care of, even when it may not be in the best interest of the company. They're like family and if you're good to them, they'll be very good to you.
Great place to work enjoyed everyone in the office very nice. I left because I can't stand to be talked to like a child from a driver who think just because he been there for 7 years he have that right. But this is a good company. I would go back if I knew he wasn't there.
Randy is the mediator. James is the Abbreviator. Two great guys. I suggest this company for any new driver. Made around 33k in 7 months starting out. Thanks for opening the door for me on a local job. Felony Friendly.
Great place to work most drivers been here 6 years plus. They schedule all loads with enough space/time so it will be on time from pick up to drop off.
I worked here for several years. If you are looking for a company to get your experience, here it is. Hometime is okay. The pay is about middle of the industry. The health insurance is good. The 401k is okay. There isn't any assigned loads / runs. There are too many out of shape drivers that shouldn't even have a CDL. There isn't too much loyalty. It's their way, even if wrong or no way.

I was a new driver fresh out of school. Took a chance on me and I am thankful. Home time okay. I dont like team driving that was only down side. I would recommend
OTR with a co driver so you will have a team and you run east to west coast 1500-3000 miles one way mostly 2500 mile average one way per 4-6 days. Hometime 1-2 days at most. Below average pay.
Great starter company. They pay by zone not per mile. So sometimes pay isn't that great. But they work with you on any time off that you need. Trucks are great. Big enough that they keep you running but not too big that you are just a number.
What is the best part of working at the company? Real friendly atmosphere and consistency with trips. Dispatch always answered you and they always had your back while you were on the road What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Not getting detention pay and having to wait and exorbitant amount of hrs at some cooling spots in California and Arizona for like 1or 2 pallets What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Family all around if I didn’t have to deal with my mother’s health complications I would still be working there. They gave me a chance when no one would starting out and with brand new Peterbilt trucks to boot!!! Great company to start and work for guaranteed at least $1,145 or more weekly with consistent runs!!! What is a typical day like for you at the company? Usually I start out in West Memphis for my 11hr shift and since out trucks are governed at 70mph I end up usually taking my break in like Oklahoma City per D.O.T. Regulations before my 8 hr clock runs out and I push on and do my switch in Amarillo TX

4 days out awesome dispatch
Great family company. Easy to work with, Great Equipment. Zone pay instead of cpm
Home usually 2 days a week can work as much or as little as you like. I'd like to have more notice on when I'm leaving out.
I’ve been driving for Cooke Trucking for over 10 years and I love it. They treat me like family and always pay me on time. The equipment is top-notch and the dispatchers are helpful. I get plenty of miles and home time. Best company I ever worked for.
Cooke Trucking is a decent company to start your career with. They have good training and a variety of loads. The pay is not great, but it’s fair. The benefits are okay, but nothing to write home about. The management can be a pain sometimes, but they’re not too bad.
