CDL License is not required for cargo vans, Sprinter cargo vans, cube vans, all which are under 10,001 # GVW. A simple standard Operators License is sufficient.

If your unit is 10,001 pounds up to 26,001 pounds, you will need a Chauffeurs license and a D.O.T. physical. If your unit over 10,000# and has air brakes or air assist, you'll need a CDL with air brakes endorsement. Any big straight truck over 10,001 pounds GVWR MAY require you (in certain circumstances) to have a minimum of two years verifiable commercial truck driving experience. We require all drivers with a straight truck to have a minimum of a Chauffeurs license when you are over 10,001 and under 26,000 #. You also must have at least 2 years of verifiable experience in order to lease this unit with us, in any straight truck. You will need an IFTA sticker and do your own fuel reporting if your straight truck is over 26,000# GVW and again, at least 2 years of verifiable experience.

It is law that all drivers must be able to read and speak fluent English as well as be eligible to work in the United States..

We have challenging opportunities for new and seasoned drivers.

We are seeking professionals, preferably:

  • with previous driving backgrounds and
  • select candidates with little or no driving experience who have the ability to become an industry professional. Either candidate must pass drug test, criminal background check, have no felony convictions involving a motor vehicle, no DWI or DUI in MVR history, have a suitable driving record (no excessive points), a 10 year verifiable work background, valid drivers license and be at least 21 years old, regardless of vehicle type and have at least two years verifiable driving experience (if you'll drive over 10,001 # GVW only). Candidates must be organized as well as self directed.

Our positions offer excellent compensation and other fringe benefits.

   
 

If you want to earn a modest living or the big bucks, you can. If you're willing to work hard, you will do just fine. The harder you work, the more you'll earn. The smarter you operate, the more you'll save and earn. Remember, any limitations, restrictions or boundaries that you set can only help or hinder your paycheck. The company you pick will also influence your pay check. If you have satellite (Qual Comm), you'll earn less money since your allowing the equipment to be installed and your paying rental fees and / or insurance's.

A lot of expedited carriers out there will not allow you to move your unit when you empty your load.

You'll be required to set right where you are and if you move, your issued a movement penalty, keeping you at the bottom of a "pecking order" or "next load list". This is particularly harmful if there's several other units parked at the same truck stop / nearby location and they have a pecking order.For example:
The first to get loads will be the one ton vans, then the 3/4 ton vans, even if the 3/4 ton has been there 5 hours longer. That particular company says when you get there you stay, even though there is 5 other units there waiting and they have been there for a full day already, causing you to wait in a very long line, and if you move, your penalized, put to the bottom of the heap or off the board for penalty of several hours.

We had a lady van driver tell us she moved from one end of a parking lot to the other because the sun was in her eyes where she was parked, and she was bumped to the bottom of the pile when she was number 3 out, put back to #7 out. This is called "Choice of Layover Area" or Forced Layover". We do not operate this way. Often times if a straight truck has been in a pecking order for a day or more, that unit won't even get a load if it's at a lesser rate.

Here's what I mean:
More often than not, a straight truck or tractor trailer is waiting for a load and the company won't release the unit to anything but a straight truck or tractor trailer load. Meanwhile, the unit sets for 2 or 3 days, holding out for a full load and the company could load those drivers with a smaller load, for a box truck or a cargo van. Well, it's better to make a 1/2 a loaf, than no loaf at all? Especially if the load takes them to a more productive area or an area not full of 10 of their other units and 10 other companies units, all, waiting for loads out of that same area.

You don't want to do this all the time, but to move a unit, spread out the trucks so everyone is not feeding on the same carcass, this only makes sense. Some carriers will just let you sit and sit and sit. THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN HERE at All Types ®. This is only one circumstance of many ridiculous and pathetic habits of many carriers. We need money, just like you do. We tend to be much more aggressive than other carriers. Period!!!

Any vehicles over 10,001 pounds are required by All Types ® policy and the Law, to keep correct, accurate & truthful logs.

Normally, orientations are held each week, & when required, more than once a week. Special exceptions for drivers switching from another carrier, in order to get them thru orientation and being productive again with us and back to work quickly - we can get THIS DRIVER, in anytime Monday thru Friday. In these special circumstances, we will do what it takes to get you thru the system and on the road in as little as a 4 hour orientation. If your current company is not providing for you, and your money is getting thin, we will do whatever it takes to accommodate you as quickly as possible.

Sessions can last as little as 4 hours but usually last for about 6. The orientations are held in our Fort Wayne, IN Field Office facility (Huntertown, In). You can start driving right after successfully fulfilling orientation. We suggest you start the next morning while in Ft.Wayne or back from your home. A rest after orientation & your drive in, is highly suggested.

We are primarily looking for candidates with long term potential and a great personality. Those with reasonably strong financial health are highly desired.

This position offers unlimited upward mobility for those who are flexible, open for suggestions, able to absorb advice, direction, and occasional constructive criticism, a hard worker and is determined to succeed. Stable employment background is preferred but not mandatory.

Training will be provided when needed. High earnings potential and job flexibility are standard here at All Types ® and YOU, will supply the main ingredients: Ambition, business savvy and reliability.

You'll earn more by NOT, dead heading home daily or often. The key is to be sure that when ever your wheels are rolling, you have freight inside and deadheading is minimal. If you need to go home daily, please do not apply. Going home daily is a waste of precious fuel resources and a huge loss eating into your profit.

If you have a van or want to get a van and go home often and can accept a weekly living of $500.00 to $900.00 while wasting fuel deadheading home, this is fine. At times a daily waste of fuel is often worth being with family / home more often - daily. Remember, you will only earn money when you are working. Working means providing a service (moving freight).

If you're considering changing your current carrier, a new driving opportunity or new career, please consider All Types ® as your next contracted carrier.

We are currently seeking quality owner operators of full size HD 3/4 ton 8' pick up trucks with appropriate caps, full size regular cargo vans, 3/4 HD or 3/4 or 1 ton Sprinter cargo vans, cube vans under 10,000 # GVW.

Straight trucks with sleepers (***WITH ICC bumpers & NO LIFT GATES) and tractor-trailers with sleepers to become part of our fleet. Eligible units include 16' -24' straight trucks and tractors with 48' and 53' **air-ride trailers. Just fill out our confidential on-line application on our web site & we will follow up to get you moving, quicker yet, just fax in a CURRENT copy of your MVR to 260.483.1833 (then call 260.483.1800 ext. 105 after you fax it) to assure we have rcd. & reviewed it.

We have a reputation in this industry with our productive, dependable & successful drivers that back up what we claim. We also have a reputation for helping those drivers who help themselves and can handle an expedited job and it's lifestyle.

ICC bumpers are a requirement. If you have a lift gate, it's easy to have it removed and a ICC bumper installed, usually at cost of around $600.00. This is needed to safely lock in at docks in the "jaws" which is a great safety issue as well as these jaws typically trigger the dock light to change from one color to another and in many cases the jaws will also trigger the dock overhead doors to operate when engaged by an ICC bumper.
