Clover Farms is the largest privately owned dairy company in PA. We were established in 1937 in Reading, PA, in the rich, rolling hills of Pennsylvania Dutch dairy country, with eight employees who delivered 300 quarts of milk to local customers every day.
Today, we have about 300 employees and process over 3 million pounds of milk every day that is delivered throughout Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and Delaware.

Benefits of Local CDL Trucking Jobs

Clover Farms drivers are home in Wilkes-Barre every night. We take pride in getting our drivers home to the ones they love and do not offer over-the-road or long-haul driving positions.
Familiar Territory. The local trucker drives on roads and highways that are closer to home. Because you run in a smaller area, you have an opportunity to become more familiar with the roads. This is typically less stressful and intimidating than having to always travel in a new area.
