Wisconsin Truck Driving Jobs That Get You Home
You want a truck driving job that lets you actually be home, pays you what you're worth, and doesn't treat you like a number on a dispatch board. We've got that. Pull up a chair once.
Why Laufer
Family-owned. Hartford, WI. Fifty years on the road.
Laufer Trucking has hauled freight out of Hartford for over fifty years. We're family-owned, we know our drivers by name, and when we say something, we do it. No corporate runaround, no mystery paychecks, no "we'll get back to ya" that turns into three weeks of crickets.
Hartford, WI · Family-Owned
Home Time
What it's actually like by us
Real talk: most trucking outfits promise you home time and then route you through Nebraska on a Friday. Not here.
Local
Home every night. You run intrastate Wisconsin and Chicagoland (ya, you'll get real friendly with the Chicago merge) and sleep in your own bed.
Regional
Real weekends — not the legal 34-hour restart dressed up to look like one. Home at least once mid-week too, with two to four nights out on average.
Life stuff
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.

The Pay
The part you scrolled down for
$1,200 / week minimum
Direct deposit, every week, guaranteed. That's the floor, not the ceiling.
Accessorial pay on top

Immediate 401k vesting

$20K life insurance
Company-paid, day one.
11 paid holidays
Including your birthday, Black Friday, Christmas Eve & Day, NYE & Day.

Up to 3 extra days a year. Cash it instead if you'd rather.
On The Yard

No forced dispatch. Ever.
Weather turns nasty up north, or you're plain wore out? Pull over. Sit it out. No penalty, and nobody's gonna chew you out for it. We'd rather you get home safe than run a load into the ditch. Holy buckets, it's not complicated.
Before You Apply
The straight talk, because we're not gonna fib ya
- You need 18 months of verifiable experience. That one's firm across the board. Fresh CDL grad? Stick around, build your hours (here's the Wisconsin DMV CDL guide if you're still getting started), and come see us when you're there. We mean it.
- Keep your logbook clean. Don't get creative with it.
- Show up looking sharp: company work shirt, regular pants, decent footwear. Nothing fancy, ain'a?
We hire from all over the area: West Bend, Jackson, Slinger, Hartford, Rubicon, Beaver Dam, Germantown, Mayville, the greater Milwaukee area, and everywhere in between. If you can get to Hartford, you can drive for us.
