    We're bringing on Class A CDL drivers for a driver-unload route based out of Maquoketa. This one's 100% hands-on, freight comes off box-by-box via rollers, so you'll want to be comfortable with physical work and different weather conditions on the dock.

    • About 2 loads a week, 3–5 stops per route
    • Roughly 1,500 miles weekly
    • Home weekly for your 34-hour reset
    • Early AM deliveries mean night driving is part of the routine, along with your required 10-hour break before unload
    • Weekend and holiday runs come up occasionally

    New drivers go through a paid ride-along week after orientation, riding with an experienced driver at $150/day.

    Pay breakdown:

    • Flat $0.75 CPM, no experience tiers
    • $1.18/mile all-in once accessorial and stop pay are factored in
    • $285 per full trailer unload, $20 per stop, $50 per backhaul
    • Drivers average $1,825/week, about $95k a year

    What we're looking for:

    • Solid customer service skills and patience, you'll be interfacing with people regularly
    • Physically able to handle live unloads
    • Fine working in hot or cold extremes
    • Open to nights, weekends, and holidays as they land in your schedule
    • Secure parking available for home-time, gated property, camera, or guard coverage. Retail lots or other unsecured spots won't work
    • Come to orientation with two weeks' worth of supplies packed

    1st load $500, 30 days $500, 60 days $250, 90 days $250, 120 days $250, 150 days $250, 180 days $500. You'll need to be actively driving with us on each payout date to collect.
