Dry van route continuity and steady freight volume give CDL A drivers in Shreveport a dependable operation with consistent miles and an organized schedule. Drivers run established regional lanes supported by regular customer freight, helping create a predictable flow from one assignment to the next. With no-touch freight, longer average hauls, and dispatch planning focused on keeping trucks moving, this position offers a straightforward setup for drivers who want reliable weekly earnings and scheduled home time.

Dry Van Freight

Drivers haul no-touch dry van freight through established regional lanes across Louisiana and surrounding states. Freight moves through a consistent customer network that supports regular load availability throughout the year, helping drivers maintain productive mileage without depending on short-term freight surges.

Most loads are drop-and-hook, with some scheduled live unload freight depending on the customer. Average haul lengths are approximately 700 to 750 miles, allowing drivers to spend more time moving between major freight markets and less time dealing with frequent short runs.

Weekly Earnings

Drivers average between $1,250 and $1,500 per week depending on mileage, experience, and overall performance. Consistent freight volume and longer average runs help support dependable weekly earnings.

Qualifying detention compensation is available for eligible customer delays. Additional performance incentives may also be available based on safe driving, reliability, and company requirements.

Route & Schedule

Drivers operate on a structured 12-day schedule followed by 48 hours at home every other weekend. Home time is incorporated into the operating schedule, giving drivers a routine they can plan around from one dispatch cycle to the next.

Dispatch coordinates loads through established freight lanes with an emphasis on route continuity. Whenever possible, upcoming assignments are planned ahead to help reduce extended waiting between loads and avoid unnecessary changes to the driver's schedule.

Truck & Equipment

Drivers operate late-model Freightliner and Kenworth sleeper tractors with automatic transmissions. Trucks include APUs, power inverters, and refrigerator space to provide additional comfort and convenience during longer runs.

Preventive maintenance is scheduled regularly to help minimize equipment-related downtime and keep trucks operating reliably.

Driver Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid vacation
• 401(k) participation
• Rider and pet programs are also available for approved drivers.
