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.
