Looking for regional miles without spending your week fighting New York City traffic? LEM Trucking is hiring a CDL A Truck Driver in Newark, NJ for established Midwest and Southeast freight lanes that completely avoid NYC and the surrounding boroughs.

Drivers earn between $1,150 and $1,600 per week depending on experience, miles, and applicable additional pay. Home time is provided every week for approximately 34 hours, with most resets taking place over the weekend.

For a CDL A Truck Driver who wants regular home time without giving up regional earning potential, this position offers a solid balance between time on the road and time at home.
