We've got the driving career that's right for you
You're looking for a trucking job that respects your time, values your work, and gets you home when it matters. That's what we're all about. Come see why drivers choose Laufer Trucking.
Weekly pay range
Direct deposit, every week, guaranteed. Weekly minimum pay $1200, that's the floor, not the ceiling. See our individual positions for hourly or mileage specifics. All our full-time drivers are in the range of $1,200–$2,100 weekly.
Accessorial pay on top
We believe a driver should be paid for everything they do. If you're hourly, you're on the clock for all work hours. If you're a mileage driver, it's not just the miles — stop pay, drop and hook pay, overnight pay, Sunday leave bonus, detention pay, breakdown pay, layover pay. If you're sitting, you're still earning.
Immediate 401k vesting
Safe harbor match (5% contributed, 4% matched). Available after 60 days, no vesting schedule, weekly match.
Why Laufer
Family-owned. Hartford, WI. Fifty years on the road.
Laufer Trucking has been hauling freight out of Wisconsin for nearly 50 years, but what matters more is how we treat people. We're family-owned and we know all of our drivers by name.
We have dedication and longevity with our office and maintenance staff, our drivers have a team of people who know the business and know the job.
The Laufer family is committed to growth and continuous improvement while being a positive force in our community.

Home Time
What it's actually like by us
Many trucking companies promise you home time and then route you through Nebraska on a Friday. Not here.
Our freight and our drivers are based in Wisconsin, so we're always working to get home. That's why regional drivers can get home during the week if they want to.
We know the trucking lifestyle can be difficult and demanding, and we also know everyone has a family and a life outside the truck. Kid's ball game, dentist appointment, a birthday? Tell us. We work around what matters and we try to learn your favorite runs and keep you on them.

Our Promise
To Treat You With Respect
Laufer Trucking was built by a family that understands the trucking life because we've lived it. We know that being a professional driver is more than a job — it's a commitment that affects your family, your time, and your quality of life.
That's why we believe drivers deserve to be treated with honesty, fairness, and respect. We value your input, listen to your concerns, and are always looking for ways to make our company a better place to work. Our goal is simple: provide a workplace where drivers feel appreciated, supported, and proud to build a career.
Before You Apply
The straight talk — who we're looking for
- We prefer 18 months of experience, but we can work with the right CDL grad. We've partnered with schools like WCTC for years to build a successful driver pool.
- Drivers who believe in safety. That means a clean personal motor vehicle record and demonstrating safe driving in our trucks. We have outward-facing cameras and the telematics to show us who's putting safety first. We use that data to coach drivers who need improvement and reward those who are top-notch with a higher governed truck speed (68 mph) and extra vacation days.
- Drivers who believe in looking professional. We provide company work shirts and we expect our drivers to wear them. Our customers know who we are because we show up looking ready to do the job. No sweatpants here.
- Drivers with a flexible mindset. We all know trucking throws curveballs every day. When drivers can adapt to changes, they're more successful in this career.
- Drivers who respect other people. Our team respects our drivers and we expect our drivers to respect the rest of the team — safety, maintenance, and operations.
- Drivers who can be on time. Trucking is customer service. Our customers could choose anyone, but they chose us because we're professional and on time.
- Live within a reasonable distance of Hartford. Our drivers get home often and long drives home burn them out. Usually for local that means about 20 minutes, regional about 35 minutes.
