NOT YOUR TYPICAL TRUCKING JOB
We’re a family-run livestock hauling company based in Washington, Iowa, hauling livestock since 1979. This is a hands-on role for drivers who want local work, strong pay, and pride in real farm work.
Family-Run Livestock Hauling Since 1977
Our family started hauling livestock in 1977, and livestock has been at the core of our operation ever since.
What began as a small farm-based operation has grown into a dedicated livestock hauling business built on hard work, accountability, and doing the job right.
We believe livestock hauling is more than driving a truck — it’s caring for animals, respecting the work, and showing up every day ready to work. That mindset is why we hold high standards and look for drivers who want a place they can take pride in and stay long-term.
DRIVE WITH
Knupp Farms
Stay Local — No Logbooks, No Cross-Country Grind
OTR keeps you stuck on highways, chasing miles and living in the truck for weeks.
At Knupp Farms, all runs stay within 150–175 miles of our shop in Washington, Iowa, keeping us AG-exempt — meaning no logbooks and no disappearing for weeks at a time.
You work a solid week, run hard, then go home for the weekend.
This is built for drivers who want consistency, not chaos.
A Real Farm Operation — Not a Mega Fleet
Knupp Farms has been hauling livestock since 1977. This isn’t a corporate trucking company — it’s a family-run farm operation where livestock is the core of what we do.
You’ll be treated like a professional, expected to act like one, and trusted to run independently. We take truck drivers and turn them into livestock drivers — people who take pride in their work and stick around.
We’re not trying to hire everyone. We’re looking for drivers who want a place they can stay.
Work That Rewards Effort, Not Just Miles
OTR driving often rewards time on the road, not the effort you put in.
At Knupp Farms, livestock hauling is hands-on work, and drivers are rewarded for showing up, staying engaged, and doing the job right.
This role values accountability, work ethic, and consistency — not just miles driven.
If you want a job where effort actually matters, this is it.
You Actually Work — And Get Paid for It
This is not a “set the cruise and scroll TikTok” job.
Livestock hauling is hands-on, physical, and fast-paced — and that’s exactly why it pays more than most driving jobs.
You’ll load and unload, bump docks, and stay moving throughout the day.
We don’t hire “sunshine truckers.” We hire drivers who want to work hard, stay sharp, and earn it.
Livestock Driver Position Details
This is a hands-on livestock driving position based in Washington, Iowa — a farm job with a CDL, not a typical trucking role. Drivers run local livestock routes, work physically every day, and are expected to operate independently, take pride in their truck, and show up ready to work.
What drivers can expect:
► 24%-27% of every load
► Typical weekly pay $1,800–$2,000,
► Ability to earn $2,400–$2,700 when working weekends
► Local runs within 150–175 miles (AG-exempt — no logbooks)
► In the truck all week, home on weekends (location dependent)
► Assigned trucks — no swapping, your truck is your responsibility
► Benefits, PTO, life insurance, and wash bonuses
This role is for drivers who are comfortable with physical work, high standards, and accountability — and who want to be paid accordingly.
