    Job Description

    There's a version of this job where you're always waiting — waiting on loads, waiting on dispatch, waiting to get home. This isn't that version. Freight is ready, lanes are set, and your home time isn't negotiable.

    The Numbers:

    • CPM range: $0.56 on day one, up to $0.64 as experience builds
    • Weekly gross target: $1,300 to $1,500 for drivers running consistent hours
    • Miles per week: 2,000 to 2,400 across a stable regional network
    • Bonus pay for clean safety records and strong on-time performance
    • Direct deposit every week — predictable as your lane
    • Full pay during orientation — first day counts

    On The Road:

    • Regional dry van freight — same territory, week after week
    • Freightliner Cascadia or Kenworth T680 assigned to you personally
    • Drop & hook dominant — get in, swap, get moving
    • Live loads mixed in on select runs
    • No touch freight — you deliver it, you don't handle it
    • One dedicated planner managing your board

    Home Time Reality:

    • Weekly 34-hour reset at home — built into the schedule, not negotiable
    • Lane design prioritizes on-time home arrival over freight convenience
    • Drivers who want more miles can opt to extend — nobody forces it

    For Drivers Just Starting Out:

    • No prior OTR required — CDL-A is your entry ticket
    • Paid mentorship runs 4 to 5 weeks alongside a certified road trainer
    • Covers real-world log management, inspection protocols, and safe driving habits
    • Solo dispatch begins the day your trainer clears you
    • Every training shift is a paid shift

    What Comes With The Job:

    • Medical, dental, and vision coverage from day one of eligibility
    • 401(k) enrollment with company contribution match
    • Paid vacation accrual
    • Employer-paid life and accidental death insurance
    • Rider and pet-friendly fleet policy for qualified drivers

    Who We're Looking For:

    • Valid Class A CDL
    • Recent CDL-A graduate or driver with 6 months tractor-trailer seat time
    • Clean DOT physical and negative drug screen
    • No more than 2 moving violations in the last 36 months
    • No impaired driving record in the past 3 years
    • No felony convictions within 5 years

    Apply today — orientation groups close quickly and we fill on a first-come basis.


    We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.
