Drivers on this fleet run extended stretches before home time, which is what drives the mileage and the earnings.
Key Responsibilities
You will operate a Class A tractor-trailer safely and legally at all times, completing pre-trip and post-trip inspections, monitoring your hours of service, and keeping your logs accurate and current in accordance with federal regulations and company policy
You will transport freight on schedule across the 48 lower states, following assigned routes, planning fuel and rest stops sensibly, and communicating proactively with your fleet manager when weather, traffic, or a customer delay puts a delivery window at risk
Drivers are dispatched to recover a truck and move it to one of the company's locations
There is no customer freight involved
Drivers team roughly 5 to 10% of the time in order to reach a shop or recover a unit
Drivers must have a cell phone capable of taking photographs of trucks and emailing them to the fleet manager — documenting unit condition is part of the job
Freight handling is part of this role rather than an occasional extra
You will work the freight as described above, so a reasonable level of physical fitness and a willingness to stay active through the shift are genuine requirements, not preferences
Requirements
A valid Class A Commercial Driver's License is required, along with a minimum of 3 months of verifiable CDL-A driving experience
You must meet all Department of Transportation qualification requirements and hold a current DOT medical certification
An acceptable motor vehicle record and safety history are required
You must be able to pass a pre-employment drug screen and comply with all federal testing requirements throughout your employment
The role requires the physical capability to perform the freight handling described above, including repeated lifting, climbing in and out of the trailer, and sustained activity across a full shift
Hiring in 65 markets across the country, from Seattle and Los Angeles to Boston, Miami and everywhere between
Preferred Qualifications
Prior dedicated account experience is preferred, particularly on fleets with consistent, repeating routes where familiarity with the lane and the customer builds real efficiency
A clean safety record, consistent on-time performance, and a track record of steady tenure with previous carriers all strengthen an application
Drivers who communicate well with dispatch, handle customer contact professionally, and take care of their equipment tend to do well on dedicated accounts like this one
