Job description

CDL A Team Driver - Colton, CA - Home Weekly - $1,578/Wk

Location: Colton, California

Average Earnings: $1,578 per week — approximately $82,083 annualized

Position Overview

Our client is hiring CDL-A team drivers for a dedicated big-box retail team account with loads starting and finishing in the Rialto, California area. Freight on this fleet is dry van retail, mainly no-touch, preloaded at the shipper, running Arizona, Utah, Nevada and throughout California.

Home time is weekly, which makes this a strong fit for drivers who want a predictable routine and a consistent paycheck rather than long, open-ended stretches on the road. Average earnings on this account run $1,578 per week, approximately $82,083 annualized.

Key Responsibilities

• You will operate a Class A tractor-trailer safely and legally at all times, completing pre-trip and post-trip inspections, monitoring your hours of service, and keeping your logs accurate and current in accordance with federal regulations and company policy.
• You will transport freight on schedule across Arizona, Utah, Nevada and throughout California, following assigned routes, planning fuel and rest stops sensibly, and communicating proactively with your fleet manager when weather, traffic, or a customer delay puts a delivery window at risk.
• Freight is mainly no-touch and preloaded at the shipper, with additional pay if unloading is required.
• Drivers average 3,900 miles per week.
• This account takes established teams or will match a solo driver with a teammate — worth knowing if you want team miles without already having a partner.
• You will verify load counts, seals, and paperwork at pickup and delivery, secure freight correctly for transit, and complete bills of lading and delivery documentation accurately so the customer's records and yours agree.
• As a team operation, you and your co-driver share responsibility for keeping the truck moving legally and safely, coordinating driving and rest so the unit stays productive without either driver running outside their hours.
• You will represent our client professionally at every customer location, maintain the condition and cleanliness of your assigned equipment, and report mechanical issues promptly so they are addressed before they become a breakdown.

Requirements

• A valid Class A Commercial Driver's License is required, along with a minimum of 3 months of verifiable CDL-A driving experience. You must meet all Department of Transportation qualification requirements and hold a current DOT medical certification.
• An acceptable motor vehicle record and safety history are required.
• You must be able to pass a pre-employment drug screen and comply with all federal testing requirements throughout your employment.
• Hiring within 60 miles of Colton, CA. Trucks are parked at the Colton facility.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior team driving experience is preferred. Established teams are welcome to apply together, and drivers who have run team before understand the coordination that makes the miles work.
• A clean safety record, consistent on-time performance, and a track record of steady tenure with previous carriers all strengthen an application. Drivers who communicate well with dispatch, handle customer contact professionally, and take care of their equipment tend to do well on dedicated accounts like this one.

Compensation and Benefits

• Average earnings on this account are $1,578 per week, approximately $82,083 annualized.
• Pay is made up of: Cents-per-mile split — drivers are paid for all miles the truck runs; Stop pay; Safe & On-Time Bonus.
• Home time: Home Weekly. 34-hour reset weekly with a set day off.
• Equipment: company-provided top-of-the-line automatic transmission trucks pulling 53' dry van trailers. There are currently 8 openings on this fleet.
• If the fleet's start point is in a different state from where you live, the company covers your travel out to orientation - bus or flight - and pays for your lodging while you are there.
• We place drivers directly with the fleets we represent, and we stay with you through the process — application, orientation scheduling, and the first weeks on the account. If this fleet is not the right fit, we recruit for a range of dedicated, regional, local and team accounts nationwide and will point you toward one that matches your home time and earnings goals.
