STS does not solicit “driver touch” freight. Our objective in doing this is to protect you from injury and conserve your time for driving.

15. How many miles can I expect on average?

To help aid fleet managers/load planners in maximizing your drive time, drivers are encouraged to communicate & carry a team attitude. When doing so, local drivers average 1800-2000 miles per week, dedicated drivers average 2200-2400 miles per week, and regional drivers average 2300-2500 miles per week.

16. How long is orientation?

Most new STS drivers complete a ninety-minute online training course at their leisure, then participate in a four-hour Virtual Orientation class from the comfort of their own home. Once these requirements are met, travel arrangements will be communicated by our Safety Team that allows drivers to complete a road test, finish up any incomplete onboarding paperwork then in most cases receive their truck assignment and first dispatch. Should a layover at our corporate location be required, STS will provide hotel accommodations and transport to/from the hotel.
