Central Cargo Express is a placement agency for CDL truck drivers. Our partner carriers hire nationwide, and you never pay us anything: nothing to register, nothing to renew, no charge when you are placed. Tell us about your license, your experience and the kind of work you want, and we connect you with carriers that are hiring for exactly that.
How it works
1. You send the short form. It takes about a minute: your name, phone, experience and the kind of driving you want — company driver, team, or owner-operator.
2. We match you. We look at which of our partner carriers hire in your lane and equipment type, and pass your details to the ones that fit. Carriers that are a poor match don't get your number.
3. A carrier calls you. You hear the pay, the home time and the equipment from the carrier itself, before you decide anything. You are never obliged to accept an offer.
Who we place
- Company drivers — solo and team, regional and over-the-road, dry van, reefer and flatbed.
- New CDL holders looking for carriers that train and hire right after school.
- Owner-operators who want a lease-on with a carrier that publishes its terms openly. One of our partner carriers, PRIDEUSA, posts its CDL-A requirements and pay structure on an open page.
Before you apply
Have these ready and the conversation with a carrier will be quicker:
- A valid CDL and your endorsements.
- Roughly how long you have been driving, and what equipment you have driven.
- Where you want to be home, and how often.
- Your pay expectations — cents per mile, percentage or weekly.
Guides for drivers and carriers
We also publish plain guides for both sides of the hire. Carriers will find articles on where small fleets actually find drivers, the 72-hour hiring process and the driver qualification file. Drivers can use the same articles to see what a well-run carrier should ask for — and what it must not skip. Browse the whole articles section.
What to expect from us
Central Cargo Express is a free matching service. It does not employ drivers and does not give legal advice. We do not guarantee a job or a specific pay rate; offers come from the carriers. Questions about where your information goes? The privacy policy answers them, and the team is one email away.
