Ever wonder what happens when a company is truly built by drivers, for drivers?

Look no further than Central Oregon Truck Company (COTC) — founded in 1992 by two flatbed drivers with a vision to do things the right way, from the ground up.

Today, COTC serves all 48 continental U.S. states and Canada, specializing in hauling challenging freight with lightweight aluminum Reitnouer trailers and Kenworth tractors. Their reputation rests on exceptional safety standards, industry-leading driver pay and benefits, and one of the most respected driving teams in the business.

Originally focused on local and regional freight in the Pacific Northwest, COTC has grown into a premier over-the-road, irregular-route flatbed carrier. Their outstanding CSA scores mean more freight, greater reliability, and more green lights for drivers across North America.

The company’s culture has been recognized nationwide:

• Best Fleets to Drive For® – 12 consecutive years, including 2018 Best Overall Fleet for Small Carrier.

• Named to the Top 20 in 2014–2025 competitions.

• 2018 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon and 2015 Top Workplaces.

Drivers say it best:

“This company represents everything that a true professional driver is. Safety is actually job #1 here… The generosity this company shows its drivers is beyond anything I could have ever imagined.”

— Shawn Avery

“This company is the real deal. I get miles, I get paid, and I get home. Quality equipment, quality employees, and bonuses you can actually get. If you are a hard worker, this is the company for you.”

— Chris Sill Householder

As part of the TFI International family of companies, COTC continues to deliver with integrity, power careers, and set the bar in flatbed transportation.
