Job description

CDL A Truck Driver

Detroit, MI 48201

Weekly Pay – $1,350 to $1,550

Northeast Regional | Full 48-Hour Weekend Reset

Dry van freight continuity and dispatch consistency give this regional CDL A truck driver position a structured operating pattern throughout the week. Drivers work established regional freight lanes with primarily no-touch loads, organized dispatch transitions, and a Monday through Friday schedule that brings them home every weekend.

Regional Freight

This fleet moves dry van freight throughout Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and surrounding states. Frequent drop-and-hook loads help reduce time spent waiting at customer locations, while repeat freight corridors provide familiarity with common routes and delivery points.

Drivers are not required to unload freight. Dispatch works to coordinate upcoming assignments in advance whenever possible so drivers have better visibility into the next load and can move efficiently between trips.

Pay and Home Time

Drivers earn between $1,350 and $1,550 per week based on miles and performance. Payroll is processed every Friday. A $1,200 minimum weekly pay program is available for qualifying drivers.

The operating schedule is Monday through Friday with a full 48-hour reset at home every weekend. The regional structure is designed around maintaining weekday freight movement while preserving regular weekend home time.

Position Details

• Primarily no-touch dry van with frequent drop-and-hook freight
• $500 paid during approximately 2.5 days of orientation
• Assigned 2019 or newer Freightliner Cascadia

Truck Equipment

Freightliner Cascadia tractors are equipped with automatic transmissions, APUs, inverters, refrigerators, double bunks, SiriusXM capability, and TV setup options. Equipment follows a regular preventive maintenance schedule to support day-to-day fleet operations.

Benefits and Orientation

Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, paid vacation, holiday pay, safety incentives, E-Z Pass, and I-Pass coverage. Hotel accommodations and meals are provided during orientation. Drivers also receive information about dispatch procedures, regional lanes, and position expectations before beginning their first assignment.

CDL A Driver Requirements

Applicants must be at least 21 years old and hold a valid Class A CDL. Experience requirements can be met with 3 months of OTR experience within the last year, 6 months of OTR or local driving experience within the last year, or 1 year of OTR experience within the past 3 years.
