Hiring Drivers in New Hampshire — FAQ
New Hampshire is the only New England state with no sales tax AND no income tax. Drivers relocating from Massachusetts or Connecticut see an immediate pay increase from tax savings alone. This is the single strongest recruiting tool.
New Hampshire drivers earn $52,000-$66,000 per year. Combined with no income tax, the effective take-home pay is often higher than drivers earning $70,000+ in neighboring Massachusetts.
Defense (BAE Systems, Sig Sauer), retail distribution (Market Basket), technology (BAE Systems), and construction are the primary drivers. Southern NH also serves as overflow distribution for the Boston market.
At 8,000+, it is small. Most NH trucking companies recruit from the broader New England pool, especially southern Massachusetts and southern Maine. Our network covers the entire region for NH placements.
Winter requires experienced drivers for mountain routes (I-93 Franconia Notch). Summer tourism increases delivery demand to resort areas. Fall foliage season adds tourist-area supply chain needs.
