Job description

• Weekly Pay: $1,250–$1,500
• Home Time: Every Other Weekend
• Freight: No-Touch Dry Van
• Running Area: Regional Freight Network
• Hiring Area: Shreveport
• Schedule: Straightforward Dispatch with Consistent Regional Miles

Looking for a driving job that keeps things simple? This CDL A truck driver position based near Shreveport is built around straightforward regional freight, organized dispatch planning, and a schedule that stays consistent from week to week. Instead of constantly changing routes or dealing with unpredictable freight patterns, drivers operate within a structured regional network designed to keep trucks moving and home time dependable.

This fleet works well for drivers who want steady income, reliable miles, and a dispatch team focused on planning freight efficiently rather than making last‑minute changes throughout the week.

Regional Freight Operations

Drivers haul no-touch dry van freight through established regional lanes across the South and surrounding freight markets. Most loads move through a combination of drop‑and‑hook freight and scheduled live unload deliveries. Freight is planned in advance whenever possible, helping drivers spend more time moving and less time waiting for load assignments.

The regional structure allows drivers to stay productive without spending weeks away from home. Freight volume remains steady throughout the year, creating consistency in both miles and earnings.

Most drivers see long enough haul lengths to maintain strong weekly mileage while avoiding the constant stop‑and‑go schedules that can reduce productivity.

Weekly Pay

Drivers typically earn between $1,250 and $1,500 per week depending on mileage, freight demand, and overall performance. Consistent freight helps create reliable weekly earnings, and qualifying detention pay is available when customer delays occur.

Additional performance‑based incentives reward safe driving habits and dependable service.

Home Time & Scheduling

This fleet operates on a 12‑day running cycle followed by 48 hours at home every other weekend. Dispatch works to maintain clean scheduling practices so drivers have a better idea of when they will be home and what freight is coming next.

The goal is simple: keep drivers running, keep freight organized, and keep home time predictable.

Drivers who prefer a more structured operation often appreciate the consistency this account provides.

Equipment

Drivers operate late‑model sleeper trucks equipped with:

• Automatic transmissions
• APU units
• Power inverters
• Refrigerator storage
• TV and microwave mounting capability in most trucks

Equipment is regularly serviced and maintained to help minimize downtime and maximize available driving hours.

Benefits

Eligible drivers receive access to:

• Medical insurance
• Dental coverage
• Vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement options
• Paid vacation time

Approved drivers may also participate in rider and pet programs.

Requirements

• Valid Class A CDL
• Minimum 3 months of recent tractor‑trailer experience
• Safe driving record
• Stable work history

Orientation

Paid orientation includes travel, hotel accommodations, and meals. Most qualified drivers can complete the approval process and get seated within a few business days.
