Drive with Albany Trucking - Home Time, Steady Miles, and Respect
If you're looking for a driving career that values your time on and off the road, Albany Trucking is your kind of company. Known for its laid-back atmosphere and driver-first policies, Albany offers flexibility, consistent miles, and strong communication - without the pressure of being forced to stay out longer than you want.
Whether you're running Over-the-Road or on a Dedicated route, Albany Trucking ensures you're home every 10-14 days, or sooner if needed. Our drivers typically run for two weeks and get two days off - but if life happens, Albany Trucking makes it easy to get home when you need to. Dedicated lanes vary, but home time is just as reliable.
What Makes Albany Trucking Different?
At Albany Trucking, you're not just a number - your dispatcher is required to check in with you daily, and you'll always know your next load before you drop the current one. That means no more sitting around waiting - and no-touch, dry van freight that's 70% drop-and-hook helps keep your wheels moving. Most loads are automotive, running primarily east of I-35 with an average haul length of 500 miles. Weekly solo mileage ranges from 2,500-2,800, with some hitting 3,000+.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
