Why Drive for TDC?
Transport Distribution Company (TDC) is a 136-truck, family-oriented OTR carrier based in Joplin, MO — and we’re built differently. As a wholly owned subsidiary of PTL, we give drivers the best of both worlds: the personalized culture and individualized support of a small carrier, backed by the stability and benefits of a large organization. Our own dispatch, our own culture, our own way of doing things — with resources most small carriers can’t match.
If you want to feel like more than a number while still running a strong OTR book of freight, TDC is where that balance exists.
CDL-A Company Driver Overview
- Top pay that rewards the miles. Earn up to $93,200+ annually, with base pay ranging from $0.55–$0.62 CPM based on experience.* Drivers average 2,000–2,600 miles per week, paid on practical miles loaded and empty.
- Bonuses that stack on top of base. Weekly performance bonuses add up to $0.07 CPM, plus clean DOT inspection bonuses, detention, layover, breakdown, extra stop, and tarping pay — all building on your base earnings.*
- Flexible home time you can plan around. Get home every weekend on a 5.5-days-on schedule, with occasional required Saturday freight. Want to earn more? Stay out 7 days and come home for a 2-day reset instead. You control the balance.
- Freight that keeps you rolling. Run 100% no-touch freight with 50% drop & hook loads and no forced dispatch — less dock time, more drive time, and routes you actually want to run.
- Late-model equipment built for comfort. Drive automatic Freightliner Cascadias equipped with power inverters and refrigerators, so you can stay comfortable and productive on the road.
