Testimonials from CDL Drivers at Daily Express

Owner Operator

It’s a good company to work for. There’s opportunities to move up in this company. You can start off in a five-axle truck (three-axle tractor, two-axle trailer), and you can move up. If there’s an opening, they’ll move you up.

Ron Watson · Company Driver
Owner Operator

We’ll help teach you how to haul some of the biggest loads you’ve ever hauled and make good money doing it. When any new contractor comes to work here, they can call us at any time to ask proper procedures... whether they’re using chains or straps.

Lenny Yocum · Owner Operator
Owner Operator

I started hauling the smaller stuff. They’d haul the big cranes and I’d haul the parts for it, and it just progressed and progressed. Daily took me up one level at a time. They made sure I was ready before I touched anything bigger or heavier.
