Haul Temperature-Controlled Freight

Reefer freight rewards drivers who take equipment seriously — and that's exactly the kind of fleet Lightning Transport runs. Every trailer in our fleet is fully refrigerated and maintained in-house, so you're not stuck babysitting a unit that should have been replaced years ago. As a direct asset-based carrier, there's no broker in the middle deciding what you haul or when you get paid.

We're hiring CDL-A drivers with verifiable reefer or general freight experience to run temperature-sensitive loads across all 48 continental states. Routes originate from our Iselin, NJ office, with our fleet yard in nearby Cliffwood — convenient for drivers based anywhere around Middlesex County, Edison, or Woodbridge.

Experienced drivers start at $0.70 CPM, paid weekly every Friday with no escrow held back, plus paid layovers and a $500 referral bonus for every driver you bring on board.
