Oklahoma Trucking Market Overview
Oklahoma's trucking market is heavily influenced by the oil and gas industry, with Groendyke Transport headquartered in Enid and major petroleum hauling operations across the state. The intersection of I-35 (north-south), I-40 (east-west), and I-44 (northeast diagonal) in Oklahoma City makes the state a natural freight crossroads. Wind energy installation has added oversized load opportunities, while the low cost of living makes trucker pay go further here.

How to read this page. The ranking is our own editorial assessment of how each carrier serves drivers in Oklahoma, based on the lanes, terminals and freight described in each entry. The pay figure is not ours: heavy and tractor-trailer drivers in Oklahoma earn an annual mean of $57,670 per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) (May 2025). That covers employed company drivers statewide — not owner-operators, whom the survey excludes — and individual carriers pay above and below it. We publish no per-carrier salary because we have no source for one, and we do not track live vacancy counts: for what is open today, check the carrier's own careers page.
