No holdbacks, ever

Most carriers in this market take a security deposit off your first checks and keep a weekly escrow "for maintenance". Over a first year that is commonly $2,800 or more sitting in someone else's account.

We do not run one. What you drive is what you are paid.

The only deduction on any of these checks is a one-time $147 occupational insurance deposit, charged once at the start and never again — the settlement shows $0.00 remaining. There is no maintenance escrow, no truck deposit and no weekly holdback of any kind.

Our story

We build careers,
not just trucking jobs

Lemberg Group was founded in 2012 with one goal — to create a company drivers can trust. Same name, same ownership, every year since. Today we run a modern fleet across all 48 states with steady miles, on-time pay and round-the-clock support.

We are looking for long-term cooperation, not a body in a seat. There is a trial period so both sides can see whether it fits. What matters most is your work ethic, your discipline and your desire to earn.

Integrity first

Trust starts with honesty. Clear communication, transparent pay, no hidden surprises.

Driver success

Your success is ours. Steady miles, modern equipment and the support you need to grow.

Always moving forward

We keep investing in our people, our equipment and our operations to create better opportunities every year.

The people behind the wheel

Great drivers deserve a great team

Every mile you drive is backed by recruiters, dispatchers, safety specialists and mechanics whose job is to keep you moving, earning and supported. From your first phone call to every load you deliver.

Drivers who stayed

★★★★★

"First carrier in 19 years that didn't want a deposit before I even touched the truck. I kept waiting to find the catch on my first settlement. There wasn't one."

MR
Mike R.Fort Worth, TX · 4 years with Lemberg
★★★★★

"3,400 to 3,700 miles most weeks, and my settlements land in the same range every time. Nothing gets pulled out of them. You can actually build a budget around this job again."

SK
Sergiy K.Naperville, IL · 6 years with Lemberg
★★★★★

"Sat five hours at a shipper in Laredo. Detention showed up on my check that week and I didn't have to call anybody about it. Small thing, but it tells you everything."

DW
Darrell W.Macon, GA · 2 years with Lemberg
★★★★★

"Clipped a post backing into a dock. I was already doing the math on what it would cost me. Safety wrote it up, the shop fixed it, my settlement was the same as always."

TB
Tom B.Youngstown, OH · 3 years with Lemberg
★★★★★

"22 years driving, four carriers before this one. Lemberg is the only place where the number they gave me on the phone is the number I actually take home."

RD
Ruslan D.Tampa, FL · 5 years with Lemberg
★★★★★

"My next load is usually assigned before I'm done unloading the current one. At my last outfit I'd sit two or three days a month waiting on freight. That's real money you never see."

JP
James P.Charlotte, NC · 18 months with Lemberg
★★★★★

"Put two kids through school behind the wheel. Last year was my best year yet, and I finished it without chasing anybody for escrow money I'd already earned."

Questions

We will answer all your questions

Is there really no escrow and no deposit?
Correct. There is no escrow account, no security deposit and no truck deposit. You will see it in writing in your contract before you sign anything — read that section first, we expect you to.
What happens if I damage the truck or trailer?
Normal wear and tear is our cost. We do not run chargebacks against your settlement for it. Serious incidents go through our safety department and insurance, not through your paycheck.
When do I get my first check?
Pay runs weekly by direct deposit. Your first settlement comes on the first payday after your first full week on the road.
Do you pay detention time?
Yes — $25 per hour after two free hours, up to $150 per day, when the detention procedure is followed.
How much home time do I get?
Home time is worked out with each driver individually, based on where you live and how you want to run. We do not promise every weekend home to everybody, because for most lanes that would be a lie. What we do cover: flights home and car rental reimbursed up to $350, fuel excluded.
What kind of freight do you haul?
General freight, dry food, machinery, equipment, paper products and packaging material. No hazmat.
Does the fuel card work at all truck stops?
No — only within a specified network. Your dispatcher will route you accordingly.
Do you reimburse road expenses?
Yes, for expenses that were authorized in advance.
Do you allow pets in the cab?
Yes. Lemberg Group is pet friendly.
Do you allow passengers in the cab?
Yes, with a signed authorization from the safety department.
Do you allow firearms in the cab?
No. Per company policy, OTR drivers are not permitted to keep firearms in the truck.
Do you provide a tablet for ELD?
Yes. Every truck is equipped with a tablet with unlimited data, used for hours of service and other programs useful to drivers.
Do you provide a pre-pass to bypass weigh stations?
Yes — about 70% of our trucks do not enter weigh stations.
How long is safety orientation?
Every new driver comes to the office for training, usually up to 2 days depending on experience.
Is there a reward program for drivers and owner operators?
Yes, the company runs a bonus program. Your recruiter will walk you through the current terms.
Can I use personal conveyance and yard move?
Yes, in the scenarios below.
  • Personal conveyance: driving to the closest parking after delivery or pickup when you are out of hours; travel from your en-route lodging to restaurants and entertainment; moving the CMV at the request of a safety official during off-duty time. Maximum 50 miles.
  • Yard move: moving the CMV at a customer's location, where the facility is closed to public access.
