Pay: $1,400 to $1,600 per week
Freight: 100% no-touch freight, 90% drop and hook
Home Time: Weekly
Location: Richmond, VA 23219

Regional automotive freight with established lane coverage
Weekly home time with a consistent reset
2,500–3,000 miles per week
Monthly performance bonus up to $750

Drive-in freight stability and operational support help CDL-A truck drivers stay productive throughout the week while enjoying dependable weekly home time. You'll haul no-touch automotive freight through established regional lanes designed to keep miles steady and downtime to a minimum.

The Route: Drivers primarily operate east of I-35 hauling automotive freight. Most loads are drop and hook, helping reduce time spent at shipping and receiving facilities while supporting consistent weekly mileage. The average length of haul is approximately 500 miles, and drivers typically run between 2,500 and 3,000 miles each week.

Pay & Home Time: Earn $1,400 to $1,600 per week with the opportunity to receive a monthly performance bonus of up to $750. Drivers are home every week for a consistent reset, creating a balance between productive regional miles and regular time at home.

Your Equipment: You'll operate primarily late-model Peterbilt 579 trucks, along with other well‑maintained equipment built for regional freight operations.

Automatic transmission equipment
Inverter and refrigerator included
Assigned equipment may be taken home
Driver-focused setup for extended regional runs

The combination of no-touch freight and a high percentage of drop-and-hook loads helps reduce unnecessary delays, allowing drivers to spend more time driving and less time waiting.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
• 401(k) plan with paid vacation
• Paid loaded and empty miles
• Detention pay, layover pay, and 24-hour dispatch support

Driver Qualifications

• Valid CDL-A with a current DOT medical card
• 3 months of experience within the last 12 months or 1 year within the last 3 years
• Experience operating a tractor with a 40-foot or longer trailer
