Our Hiring Philosophy
At Nussbaum, we strive to operate by our core values. One of those is honesty. Our hiring philosophy is that you deserve an accurate picture of what an OTR trucking job at Nussbaum will entail. We make a significant investment in bringing on drivers, and we do our very best to make sure the drivers we hire will want to stay. That’s why the information we share in the hiring process is extremely important. So, let’s have a conversation! We may or may not offer the kind of job and culture you are looking for, but we’d love to try to figure out together whether we are a good match for you and your family. Beware: Talking to our driver hiring managers will be a breath of fresh air.
