How much do team truck drivers make in Louisiana?
Team truck drivers in Louisiana earn $63,000 - $97,000 annually, depending on experience, endorsements, and carrier. While base pay in Louisiana is near the national average, the lower cost of living means take-home pay stretches further than in coastal states.

Which carriers hire team drivers in Louisiana?
Major carriers with team driving programs recruit in Louisiana, including national fleets running expedited and time-sensitive freight. Team positions based in LA typically run coast-to-coast or to specific high-demand corridors. Most carriers offer team-specific sign-on bonuses and assigned late-model trucks with team amenities.
Are trucking companies in Louisiana hiring team drivers in 2026?
Yes — team driver demand in Louisiana is moderate heading into 2026. The team segment in Louisiana is expanding, with carriers adding routes and increasing hiring as freight volumes grow. Check individual carrier listings for current openings and application requirements in LA.
