Pay That Reflects Your Hard Work

We believe your miles and dedication should pay off - literally. Our pay scale is built to reward your time on the road:

• Regional Drivers: Earn $1,200/week, averaging 2,500-2,600 miles

Even better, you choose where to take your home time, so you're never stuck where you don't want to be.

Top-Tier Equipment & Driver Convenience

You'll drive a Kenworth T680 automatic equipped with Smart Idle, bunk heater, double bunk, and a 1500-watt inverter. Our trucks are serviced every 6 months and rarely break down. Most freight is 85-90% drop and hook, and for the few loads that require unloading, we provide an electric floor jack - and you get paid for it.
