West Side was started in the late 1960s by the Vogt family — and is still family run to this day. The business started salvaging grain spills at train yards using just a couple of trucks and shovels. As the business grew the Vogt family added semi tractors and hopper trailers to accommodate customer needs. The founder’s sons took the company reins in the late 1970s and today Don Vogt serves as President, CEO and Chairman of the Board. By the late 1980s, our trucking operation had expanded into the truckload, dry van business.

Throughout the company’s history, providing outstanding service to customers has always been our focus. Many of our customers have been with West Side for many years and regularly comment about the quality of our personnel and the consistency of on-time pickups and deliveries. Today, we still make every business investment decision based on the question, “What would our customers want us to do?”

We continue to grow our freight and have been awarded new lanes in the region in addition to our long time customers. Drive for us and you'll understand why we have one of the best retention rates in the industry.

West Side Transport is a family owned and operated mid-west based company. We've been in business almost 50 years and we pride ourselves on our stature among other trucking operations. We run safe and on time. 

We have openings for Class-A CDL truck drivers who want to earn a competative (we've done the research), steady paycheck while working for a company who respects you and your family. This position will get you home every weekend driving in a regional area as seen in the above picture. We haul dry van general commodity freight that's no touch with no endorsments needed.


If you happen to be in the 0-3 year experience range we are the top paying company in the area as proven by market research with our competitors. If you have more than three years experience we're still in the top five for pay but considering we retain almost all our drivers year-over-year this is a great place to be, I can list the reasons but let's save that conversation for when you call! 

Because we want you to be successful in transition, we are offering a $900/week Pay Commitment for the first 8 weeks of employment, meaning if you make less, we pay out the difference. This proves our absolute promise that you'll earn money and respect 

We're looking to hire a dozen or so drivers in the next couple months with our terminal located at 1929 Lone Eagle St. All operations from orientation thru to your driver manager housed in Columbus, it'll feel like a small business but have the support of a 500 truck company.
