It’s been a busy year in the trucking industry, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Along with everything you might expect, there have been dozens of notable mergers and acquisitions among the country’s largest fleets. As trucking companies grow, it becomes harder to manage employee expectations and be sure that drivers have the resources they need to do their jobs (and do them well) while still maintaining the ever-important work/life balance.

At Patton Logistics and Watsontown Trucking Company, we spend time and energy cultivating our team so every member has what they need to manage their role with as few hiccups as possible.


Our Hiring Process

While trucking conglomerates are heavily focusing on recruiting and hiring drivers who are new to the industry, we recognize the importance of hiring both new and veteran drivers. Unfortunately, experienced drivers are often overlooked, as massive companies would instead hire a driver they can pay less.

At Watsontown Trucking Company, we carefully balance our new hires so our drivers have varying years of experience. Not only does this contribute positively to the future of trucking as we hire brand-new drivers, but it also ensures veteran drivers are supported, recognized, and respected.  

Hourly Pay, Benefits, & Perks

We know that truck driving isn’t easy. The job comes with unexpected roadblocks and delays. That’s why, from competitive hourly pay to comprehensive benefits and additional perks, we take care of our drivers and value their hard work.

Safety is paramount for us. That’s why we operate on an hourly pay structure. Our drivers never have to focus on turning a mile to earn a living. We know that traffic jams, accidents, and weather can delay drives, and we want you to be safe. You can focus on the road while your dispatcher handles updating customers.

Hourly pay is where working for Watsontown Trucking Company starts. We want our drivers to prioritize their health and families just as much as their safety. Our culture is driven by the belief that we share the roads with others, and we all need to get home safely to our families. That’s why we offer health, dental, vision, prescription, life, and disability insurance, retirement options, and paid holidays and vacation packages. Some additional perks you can expect when working with us include the following:

  • Weekly pay

  • Orientation pay

  • Paid vacation packages

  • Quarterly safety bonus

  • Achievement awards

Through it all, we strive to provide a favorable work environment for our employees where they can pursue their passions and feel confident in what they do.
