Why Professional Drivers Choose a Family-Owned Trucking Company

Finding More Than Your Next Driving Job

For professional truck drivers, choosing the right company can make all the difference. Pay and miles matter, but so do the people behind the operation, the equipment you drive, the support you receive, and whether you're treated like a professional.

At Holtkamp Transportation, we've built our company around something simple: people matter.

As a family-owned transportation company based in Southeast Iowa, we believe drivers deserve a workplace where they're known by name, supported on the road, and given the opportunity to build a long-term career.

Consistent Miles and Earning Opportunity

Time on the road needs to be worth it. Holtkamp drivers can benefit from paid practical miles and approximately 2,800–3,000 miles per week, providing the consistency professional drivers need to plan for their careers and families.

We also offer weekly pay with direct deposit, along with qualifying detention and stop pay because we recognize that a driver's time has value.

Equipment You Can Count On

Your truck isn't just a piece of equipment. When you're a professional driver, it's your workplace.

Holtkamp operates late-model equipment and provides assigned trucks so drivers aren't constantly switching between vehicles.

Another advantage is our in-house maintenance operation. Our experienced team includes diesel mechanics, trailer mechanics, reefer repair specialists, tire specialists, and body repair personnel who work to keep our equipment safe, reliable, and moving.

Support When You Need It

Trucking doesn't operate on a nine-to-five schedule.

That's why our drivers have access to 24/7 dispatch and claim support. When you're on the road, knowing there's a team behind you matters.

Open communication has always been an important part of the way we operate. Drivers aren't simply numbers in a system—they're professionals whose work makes our entire company possible.

A Company Where Drivers Stay

We're proud to maintain driver turnover of less than 35%.

For us, that's more than a number. It represents the kind of company we're working to build: one where professional drivers can find stability, develop relationships, and create careers they want to keep.
