Why Dry Van Driver Hiring is Different in Evansville
Evansville and Mount Vernon together form the Ohio River's largest port complex by tonnage, handling coal, grain, and steel coil barge transfers to flatbed and dry van. Toyota's Princeton plant 25 miles north creates consistent JIT parts volume on I-69. The Tri-State region's lower cost base means driver wages trail the state average but turnover is correspondingly low.
