Job Description

We're hiring experienced Class A CDL Truck Drivers for regional dry van opportunities throughout the Southeast and surrounding states.

This position offers weekly home time, $0.60 per mile starting pay, approximately 2,500–3,000 miles per week, and 100% no-touch freight.

Drivers transport dedicated freight with occasional customer backhauls. Approximately 60% of loads are drop-and-hook, with the remaining 40% involving live loading or unloading performed by facility personnel.

This opportunity is ideal for experienced CDL-A drivers who want consistent regional freight and regular weekly home time without physically unloading trailers.

Up to 85 driver positions are listed across 17 approved hiring markets.
