Buchanan Bar Break

Most CDL-A drivers don’t leave a job because they dislike driving. They leave because promises stop matching reality. Home time gets pushed back. Dispatch becomes distant. Freight turns unpredictable.

That’s usually when drivers start searching for CDL-A truck driver jobs and asking better questions about the company behind the trucks.

At Buchanan Hauling and Rigging, Inc., we understand that moment because we’ve built our driver program around long-term relationships, not constant turnover. As a Midwest-based carrier with a national footprint, Buchanan offers opportunities for Company Drivers and Owner Operators who want consistency, communication, and freight they can be proud to haul.

A Carrier Built on Experience, Not Shortcuts

Buchanan has earned its reputation by moving freight that requires planning, skill, and accountability. From dry van and flatbed to specialized, expedited, and heavy haul trucking, our operations demand professionalism. That same standard applies to how we work with drivers.

Drivers don’t get lost in the system here. Each driver works with a dedicated dispatcher who understands their routes, equipment, and preferences. Support is available 24/7, and drivers are never forced onto freight that doesn’t fit.
