Why Ottery?

Why Ottery?

Started as the over-the-road extension of Jerry Ottery Milk Trucking in 1990. The firm comprised three tractors that transported railroad tank containers from the rail yards in Chicago to juice plants in the Midwest. Throughout the 90s, Herb and Pat expanded the company by offering over-the-road tanker service. The company grew to 27 power units until they merged with Jerry Ottery Milk Trucking in April of 2005

Be very, very careful driving near their drivers. One of the drivers ran me off the road, did not stop and then when I called the company they didn't want to take responsibility for it at all and I'm sure the driver still works there.

Thank you for employing great people!! I had the luck to meet one of them. My truck needed a jump start just now in Zion, IL and lucky me your guy came to ask me if I needed help before he was about to pull off. He stayed until we got my truck started and I was back on the road. Thanks again, God Bless!

I started working for Ottery Bro’s in October of 2018. They gave me an opportunity to drive for them and sent me to Fox Valley to refresh my driving skills. Thank you for spending time and money on me. Pat Ottery is a good employer and was patient with teaching me to be a successful driver. Kelley S was a good dispatcher and was also a big help in my success. Herb Ottery was also instrumental in my success with their company. If I was asked to drive for them again, I’d definitely say, yes absolutely. Thank all of you again!!!.

Former driver here.... let's just be clear... this place pays their drivers .36-.39cents a mile, no bonuses (fuel, safety ect ect) and everything they told you at the beginning of employment is a lie, Just to get you in the door and drive. Your late to every scheduled appointment because of poor communication and as the driver you take the brunt of the complaints and they blame the driver when the customer calls. Companies like this are what kills the trucking industry.

The job itself is fine, though management wasn't always honest. The pay was excellent, and work was steady—rarely any downtime. The safety director was a fantastic advocate for drivers.

**Best part of working at the company:** Everyone is supportive and friendly. Great pay, and they’re flexible with time-off requests. **Most stressful part:** No major stress—just occasional waiting at the dairy, but that’s expected. **Work environment and culture:** Strong team-oriented atmosphere. People are eager to assist and answer questions whenever needed. **Typical day:** Stay on top of your tasks and the day runs smoothly.

A family-owned business with the third generation taking on greater responsibilities. Drivers are treated with respect and professionalism. They go above and beyond to accommodate requested time off or emergencies. Consistent freight lanes with friendly customers. Drop-and-hook system is arranged whenever possible.
