Job description

This lane pays by the mile, and the miles are there: 2,800 to 3,000 a week. You start at $0.60 per mile and the rate goes up every year.

It's a dedicated refrigerated account running out of the Lathrop yard. We need drivers who live within about 50 miles of it, and Winton, Atwater and Livingston are in range.

Where you'll run

Food-grade reefer freight across 5 western states: California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Utah. It's the same account and the same customers, week after week. About 40% of loads are drop and hook. Some customers do live unloads that can take time. Mountain grades and winter weather come with this lane, and the right driver handles both. You're home every 2 weeks, and most holidays can be spent at home.

Your pay

• $0.60 per mile to start
• $0.61 at 7 months, $0.62 at 13 months, then 1 cent more every year up to $0.70
• Average $1,500–$1,800 per week ($78,000–$93,600 a year)
• $25 for loads under 50 miles
• $10 per extra stop
• Weekly direct deposit
