Variant's Home-On-Time
Goal for Drivers

Earn More, Every Week

The job is unpredictable. Your paycheck shouldn’t be. And with Variant Optimizer™ planning every load, it won’t be. Our system only makes plans that make sense. And it’s always updating to get you more miles and better loads.

High-Caliber Trucks

We're Miles Ahead

APU in Every Truck

No more worrying about whether or not you can idle. Every new truck in our fleet has an APU, so you can power the lights, A/C, and other electronics.

Refrigerator Comes Standard

Every cabin comes complete with a spacious minifridge, microwave cabinet space and matching cabinetry.

All-New Freightliner Cascadia

A big part of the driving experience is what you drive. And at Variant, you’ll have a chance to drive the best ― a fully-equipped Freightliner Cascadia.

Predictable Home Time

Get Home on Time, Every Time

You work hard to arrive on time. You deserve to get home on time too. And driving for Variant, you will. You just make a request right in the app, and the system takes care of the rest. No more plans that get you home later than planned.

24/7 Support

Support You Can Count On

When you call for back-up, you want someone who can actually help. You want our Operations Specialists. You can call, chat or email us at any time. And when you do, you won’t get a bunch of bureaucracy. You get a single point of contact who is empowered to help you and committed to treating you like the professional you are.

Driver Community

You're Never Alone Out There

The only people who understand how tough the job is? Other truckers. So we made it easy to connect with your compatriots anytime, anywhere. Whether you need a parking tip or just want to talk, you can get it all through the app. It’s just like CB radio days – minus the static.

Variant Ambassadors

Building a Community for Drivers

Long-haul trucking may be a one-person job, but it doesn’t have to be a lonely one. Through the Variant Ambassador program, you can be part of building this company and your community. All you have to do is share your Variant experience with other drivers and invite them to join your Squad – your fleet within the larger Variant fleet. And as your Variant Squad grows, so will your paycheck.

What Drivers Are Saying

Variant realizes that drivers like to talk to drivers. They don’t like to hear it from recruiters who have never spent one night in these trucks. Whereas drivers, we’re actually face-to-face with you, and we’re the ones helping you along the process and out here on this road with you.

Variant Truck Driver

Variant has been the best and greatest company I've ever worked for. And will be the only company. The miles, the pay, the respect, the home time. I can't go anywhere else. My heart belongs to Variant.

Steven Armstrong

Houma, LA

Variant treats us as professionals. The only thing they ask back from us is that we be professionals. They let us drive our trucks. We are the captains of our ships. Driving with Variant is the best decision I ever made.

Caron Comas

Variant Ambassador

Variant does everything they can to make you feel comfortable. To make you feel welcome. They make sure you're okay every day. They ask if you need anything. To me, that’s everything as a truck driver.

Jessica Stewart

I'm treated like family. And that means a lot to me. I'm so glad I decided to give Variant a try. It's been a wonderful experience. I challenge any driver to come experience this. It's amazing.
