Job description

Hiring Area: Tampa, FL (33602)
Weekly Earnings: $1,350–$1,500 average
Freight: No-touch regional dry van
Home Schedule: Full 48-hour reset every other weekend

Steady freight network and operational reliability give Tampa-area CDL-A truck drivers a regional position with consistent mileage opportunities and a clearly defined home-time schedule. Drivers average 700–750 miles per haul, run primarily drop-and-hook freight, and operate on a 12-day cycle followed by a guaranteed 48-hour reset every other weekend.

Regional Driving Position

This fleet moves dry van freight across established multi-state regional lanes. Average trips of 700–750 miles provide longer runs between customers, helping drivers build weekly mileage without depending entirely on short trips.

Freight is no-touch, and the majority of loads are drop-and-hook. Some customer locations require live unloading, but drivers are not responsible for unloading the trailer. Freight assignments are coordinated to support steady movement throughout each work cycle.

Home Time Routine

The schedule consists of 12 days on the road followed by a full 48 hours at home every other weekend. This repeating cycle gives drivers a defined home-time pattern while maintaining the road time needed for productive regional miles.

Assigned tractors can be taken home during scheduled resets when safe truck parking is available. Approved parking locations may also be used when needed.

Driver Equipment

Drivers are assigned 2021 or newer Freightliner and Kenworth tractors with automatic transmissions. Trucks include APUs, inverters, refrigerator space, and mounts for a TV and microwave to provide additional convenience during regional trips.

Regular preventive maintenance is scheduled to help minimize avoidable equipment downtime.

Earnings and Benefits

• Average weekly pay ranges from $1,350–$1,500 based on miles and experience.
• Detention compensation is available for qualifying delays.
• After 6 months, eligible drivers receive medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, and access to a 401(k) retirement plan.

Additional Fleet Options

• Approved drivers can participate in rider and pet programs.
• Dispatch support is available for routing, freight assignments, and load coordination.
• Maintenance assistance is also available for equipment-related needs that arise while drivers are on the road.

Class A CDL Requirements

• Valid Class A CDL
• Minimum 3 months of recent tractor-trailer driving experience
• Acceptable driving and safety record
• Ability to meet DOT qualification and company safety requirements
