By accessing or using the South Central Trucking website ("Site") or submitting an employment application through our portal, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site or submit an application.

These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and South Central Trucking ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").

Submission of an employment application does not guarantee employment, an interview, or any particular outcome. The Company reserves the right to:

• Reject any applicant at its sole discretion
• Modify job requirements or close positions at any time without notice
• Determine hiring decisions based on qualifications, safety standards, business needs, and regulatory requirements
• Terminate the application process at any stage without explanation

At-Will Employment: All employment with the Company is at-will, meaning either party may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause or notice, except as otherwise required by law.
