High Pay, Stability, and Opportunity at Gateway Distribution
The freight market has turned a corner, and rates are beginning to rise again, offering relief for carriers and drivers after a turbulent few years. This shift is expected to encourage more drivers to explore new opportunities, leading to increased movement within the industry. While turnover rates dipped during the economic uncertainty of 2024, experts predict a return to normal job-seeking patterns as confidence grows.
With drivers becoming more selective about their next move, companies must prioritize strong recruiting and retention strategies. Competitive pay, clear communication, and responsiveness during the hiring process are key to attracting and keeping top talent. Studies show that carriers who respond to applicants within five minutes increase their chances of hiring a driver by 40%. But recruiting doesn’t stop at hiring—ongoing support and keeping promises made during onboarding are essential for retention.
At Gateway Distribution, we understand the importance of providing a stable, rewarding career for our drivers. Our average annual pay is $79,045, with top performers earning well above that — 7 of our drivers make over $100,000 per year. We also prioritize long-term stability, with our fleet boasting an average driver tenure of 5.1 years. This demonstrates that Gateway is not just another trucking company but a place where drivers can build a career with financial security and job satisfaction.
Gateway Distribution is hiring drivers for our fleet and seeking owner-operators to join our team. If you’re looking for a company that values its drivers and offers strong earning potential and long-term career growth, we want to hear from you!
