Straight Talk:
Who cares who you drive for?
We do. We're Celadon Trucking Services and we didn't get to be one of the leading carriers in North America by not caring who drives for us and what they have to say. It's why we've instituted an 'open door policy. You won't have to make an appointment or talk through a glass window to your dispatchers. You've got a problem, just walk right in and let us know. And, more often than not, consider it problem solved. When you become part of our team, you'll also find top equipment, high miles, competitive pay, and much more. But most importantly, you can expect us to deliver on every promise we make to you - 100% of the time.
ALL CELADON DRIVERS * Must be 22 years old
* Must have 9 months of verifiable tractor trailer experience in the last 3 years (Most local van experience can be used))
* Must have a valid class A CDL in the state you reside
