St. Louis is well-positioned to ship goods across the country. The city is close to main trucking routes that allow for quick and easy runs to nearby states. The location – along the Illinois border – has helped Rapid Response become one of the best and most reliable family-owned transportation companies in the Midwest.
Studies show that the Midwest is an ideal location for trucking and currently โ when demand for truck drivers has never been higher โ itโs a great time to be a CDL truck driver.
In 2019, the trucking industry was responsible for hauling more than 70% of all freight moved in the U.S. Supply chain shortages have only increased demand for qualified truck drivers. Not only do companies need more drivers, but they are also offering more benefits and support to their drivers.
At Rapid Response, weโve always known our drivers are the lifeblood of our business. We are looking for drivers who donโt just want a job, but a career. We are currently hiring CDL โClass Aโ Owner-Operators and Over-the-Road (OTR) Company Drivers in the St. Louis region.
We understand the importance of work-life balance and treat our employees like family. Thatโs why Rapid Response has one of the highest driver retention rates in the country. As a family-owned and operated business, we take pride in knowing our drivers and their preferences, so they are working with the clients and on the jobs they prefer.
Some of the benefits our company provides to drivers include:
- $65,000 to $250,000 based on experience
- 98% No-touch freight
- 50-50 Drop-n-Hook
- Drivers paid weekly

- Through or to your home one or two times a week
- New equipment (2019-2020 Peterbilts) and Dry Van Trailers
- Cell phone allowance

And we book loads a week in advance, so youโll always have work.
