Job description

Competitive fixed daily rates — no mileage guesswork

Team 1 Elite Transport is Wisconsin’s largest and fastest-growing FedEx Ground linehaul contractor, operating out of Oshkosh, Green Bay, Menomonee Falls, and Manitowoc. As the exclusive FedEx Ground contractor based out of the Oshkosh terminal, we play a critical role in keeping freight moving across the Midwest.

Drivers today are looking for more than just a truck. They want consistency, communication, reliable equipment, benefits that matter, and a company they can actually stay with long term.

At Team 1 Elite, drivers know their route, know their schedule, and know what to expect.

What drivers appreciate about Team 1 Elite:

• Set schedules with full-time and part-time options
• Dedicated FedEx Ground linehaul routes
• Home daily
• Consistent drop-and-hook freight
• 100% no-touch freight
• Stable year-round work
• W2 employment — not 1099
• Management that communicates and supports drivers
• Small company environment where you are more than a truck number

Benefits & Protection:

• UHC medical, dental, and vision insurance after 30 days
• Company-paid life insurance, AD&D, and disability coverage
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Generous sign-on bonus opportunities

Equipment Matters:

Our drivers operate brand-new 2025 Volvo daycabs equipped with advanced safety technology, premium driver comfort, and modern digital displays.

We rotate equipment regularly because newer trucks help reduce downtime, minimize breakdowns, and create a safer experience for our drivers.

Qualifications:

• Valid CDL-A License
• Minimum 12 months of verifiable tractor-trailer experience
• Doubles endorsement or willingness to obtain prior to start

This is not a revolving-door trucking company. We are building a long-term team focused on consistency, professionalism, and respect.

If you are looking for predictable work, strong support, quality equipment, and a company that values drivers, Team 1 Elite Transport may be the right fit for you.

We are an equal opportunity employer and encourage all qualified CDL-A drivers, including military veterans, to apply.
