Countryside Auto Transport, Inc. is seeking dependable Class A CDL OTR truck drivers for auto transport (car hauling) with a focus on long-term employment. With over 35 years of experience, we have built a reputation for reliability and low driver turnover.
We primarily hire drivers who live within commuting distance of our Menasha, WI terminal, as all trips originate from and return to this location and trucks are not kept on the road. Candidates based in Wisconsin or within commuting distance of our Menasha, WI terminal do not need prior car hauling experience—we are committed to training and helping the right qualified and motivated drivers succeed in this specialized field.
Candidates outside this area must live along our established lanes/routes and have prior car hauling experience.
We offer a stable, career-oriented environment for drivers who value consistency, safety, and professionalism.
