Role Details
Reno-based trucking work with the details up front.
Owner-operators with their own tractor can lease on under True Blue Trucking's authority (USDOT 3938395, MC 1461920). A hazmat endorsement is not required to apply. True Blue handles dispatch, broker relationships, check calls, and back-office paperwork. Pull your own trailer or a True Blue trailer depending on lane and equipment fit. Freight runs across the western states from a Reno, Nevada base, and owner-operators who hold a current hazmat (H or X) endorsement can also run placarded, non-bulk hazmat freight with placards provided. Recruiting covers freight and the pay breakdown by phone.
