Job description

CDL A Regional Truck Driver - Tar Heel, NC - No Touch - $1,512/Wk
Location: Tar Heel, North Carolina
Average Earnings: $1,512 per week — approximately $78,624 annualized
Position Overview
Our client is hiring CDL-A drivers for a dedicated food production account with a consistent schedule and high hiring volume. Freight on this fleet is protein and food products, no-touch, running the Eastern Mid-Atlantic — North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Washington DC.
Home time is weekly, which makes this a strong fit for drivers who want a predictable routine and a consistent paycheck rather than long, open-ended stretches on the road. Average earnings on this account run $1,512 per week, approximately $78,624 annualized.
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 Eastern Mid-Atlantic — North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Washington DC, 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 deliver all no-touch freight and average 10 loads per week — this is a busy, high-turn fleet.
With 40 openings this is the largest single hiring need on the account list, so hiring moves quickly.
You will verify load counts, seals, and paperwork at pickup and delivery, secure freight correctly for transit, and complete bills of lading and delivery documentation accurately so the customer's records and yours agree.
You will represent our client professionally at every customer location, maintain the condition and cleanliness of your assigned equipment, and report mechanical issues promptly so they are addressed before they become a breakdown.
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.
Hiring within 50 miles of Tar Heel and Clinton, NC. Office staff and a maintenance team are on site.
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.
Compensation and Benefits
Average earnings on this account are $1,512 per week, approximately $78,624 annualized. Pay is made up of: Mileage pay; Detention pay; Safe & On-Time weekly bonus — up to 3% additional pay.
Home time: Home Weekly. Home weekly for a 34-hour reset. Drivers work nights.
Equipment: top-of-the-line automatic transmission trucks hauling 53' trailers. There are currently 40 openings on this fleet.
We place drivers directly with the fleets we represent, and we stay with you through the process — application, orientation scheduling, and the first weeks on the account. If this fleet is not the right fit, we recruit for a range of dedicated, regional, local and team accounts nationwide and will point you toward one that matches your home time and earnings goals.
We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States and must meet all Department of Transportation qualification requirements, including a current DOT medical certification.
