Where Central Transport runs
Central Transport is strongest in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. If you want to be domiciled in one of those, this is a carrier worth a call; if you do not, check that they have a terminal near you before applying.
Their freight leans toward LTL, national, time-definite, which is what shapes the day-to-day: the equipment you are on, whether you touch the freight, and how predictable the schedule is.
On pay. We do not publish a salary for Central Transport, because we have no source for one that is specific to them. For scale, heavy and tractor-trailer drivers nationally earn an annual mean of $59,710 per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) (May 2025). What this carrier pays sits above or below that depending on division, lane and experience — their own posting is the place to get it.
