Job description

Pay: $1,350 to $1,650 per week
Freight: Regional no-touch freight, approximately 50% drop and hook
Home Time: Home every weekend with a 48-hour reset
Location: Baltimore, MD 21201

• Established customer freight across regional lanes
• Route planning built around familiar delivery areas
• Assigned 2021–2024 Freightliner Cascadia equipment
• Monday through Friday schedule with weekends at home

Dedicated freight support and organized customer route planning give CDL-A drivers a regional position built around established freight and repeat operating areas. Familiar customer locations help drivers understand appointment expectations, traffic patterns, and the general pace of the workweek.

Driver Setup

Every CDL-A driver is assigned a late-model 2021–2024 Freightliner Cascadia with no slip seating. Keeping the same truck throughout the workweek provides a more consistent driving environment and allows personal items to remain organized between dispatches.

Each tractor includes double bunks, SiriusXM radio, a 24-inch HD television, refrigerator, battery-powered APU, and a 1,500-watt inverter. These features provide sleeper climate control, food storage, entertainment, and power for personal electronics while drivers are away from home.

Pay & Weekend Home Time

Weekly pay is $1,350 to $1,650, deposited every Friday through direct deposit. Additional compensation is provided for qualifying detention, layovers, breakdowns, and transition time during the first weeks of employment.

Drivers operate Monday through Friday and return home each weekend for a full 48-hour reset. This regular schedule provides two complete days away from the truck and makes it easier to plan personal responsibilities from one week to the next.

Customer Routes

Regional freight moves through established Northeast and Midwest lanes with a combination of live-load appointments and drop-and-hook freight. Approximately 50% drop and hook helps limit unnecessary dock delays while supporting continued movement throughout the week.

Benefits

• Blue Cross Blue Shield medical coverage
• Delta Dental insurance
• 401(k) with company matching after 60 days
• Paid vacation and holidays once established
• Passenger program for riders 13 and older at minimal weekly cost
• Dogs of any breed or size welcome at no charge

Driver Qualifications

• Valid CDL-A license
• Minimum one year of documented over-the-road experience
• Safe, dependable, and professional driving history
