EXTRA MILE INTERNATIONAL, INC
LONE STAR TRANSPORTATION LLC
We’ve designed our FLEXTIME Driving Program to fit the lifestyles of older, experienced drivers who want to cycle between periods of work and leisure. FLEXTIME drivers can spend less time on the road during the year and more time with family — on favorite hobbies — finishing special projects — or just relaxing. To put it another way, do whatever YOU want. Drive 3 months or more in one of our Lone Star company trucks. (Leave the bookkeeping and administrative headaches to us.) Then take off up to 6 months.
As part of the FLEXTIME Driving Program, we also offer you the opportunity to sign up for our affordable group insurance plans, including a free health insurance option. (Coverage begins the 1st of the month following 30 days of employment and continues while you’re actively working. Ask for details.) After working a total of 6 months, top off your nest egg through participation in our 401(k) retirement program, too. We offer a generous company match as well as immediate vesting.
Although OTR truckers transport the same kinds of cargo as short-distance drivers, there are some significant distinctions between over-the-road, regional, and local trucking. The majority of these variations have to do with how much time drivers spend on the road, but they also have to do with the tools required for each task and the potential pay. Here you may find Texas over the road truck jobs.
Regional truck drivers exclusively transport items in a certain region of the nation. Based on their location inside the U.S.'s continental territory, regions are frequently divided into a group of states. For instance, if you exclusively drive in the Northeast, Midwest, or Southwest, you can qualify as a regional trucker.
Although regional driving often pays a little bit less than OTR trucking, some drivers prefer it since it allows them to spend more time with their family. Even though you may be on the road for several days at a time, your routes could fall on weekends or other days off.
Short-distance trucking, or local trucking, often pays less than long-distance and OTR transportation. Similar to working an hourly job, you'll often be home at the conclusion of the workday with this kind of career.
Within a 200-mile radius, you may deliver items from a factory or warehouse to shops or from one company to another. Local truckers may cross state boundaries when it's essential to finish their journey even if they don't usually do so.
In contrast to a regional or OTR employment, this form of work will need you to travel on smaller local roads more frequently. Additionally, you can operate a smaller truck and have to stop frequently in order to finish your trip.
