What Makes Driving for Sewell Different?

At Sewell, we realize that in today’s market, the demand for good drivers is intense. We also know that those driver’s want much more than great pay; they want good benefits, good communications and a feeling that they matter. The Sewell team strives hard to provide that and more. We work hard to keep work satisfaction high by balancing home time and work. We make sure our drivers are comfortable when they are out on the road. We also make sure they are well trained and safe while “on the job”. We stand behind our drivers, mile after mile.

Get Out and Back Home Sooner

Unlike many other companies who keep OTR drivers moving across the country, our “out and back” business model provides for 500 to 600-mile outbound trips, with most returning to our terminal in Wilmington where local drivers complete final delivery of the load This reduces delays and keeps our drivers moving during the week. It also allows many drivers to be back home 1 or 2 times a week.

Sewell prides itself on listening to its drivers, and because that, offers a flexible mileage program designed to allow you to choose if you want to run above or below 3,000 miles. The program’s focus is on providing you with a consistent income, based on the way you want to drive and earn a living. We pride ourselves that this and other innovations help to out-perform other companies in terms of retention, many of whom are much larger. We believe that is the case because at Sewell, we’re big enough to be consistent and grow but small enough to care.

Steady freight – Get to know our Customers

At Sewell, we have a stable and long-standing base of clients (many of whom are national in scope) that provide us as much work as we want. We are expanding by way of organic growth rather than acquisition, and we don’t have drivers sitting waiting for the business to come. We are known for providing impeccable service and the highest levels of customer satisfaction in the industry. All of our drivers benefit from consistent and familiar routes from an assigned dispatcher that knows you by name.
