Job description

Success on the road starts with having the right support behind you. Dependable freight, modern equipment, responsive support teams, and route options that fit a variety of lifestyles. Weekly earnings range from $1,200 to $1,500 depending on position and miles.

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
• Super Regional Drivers: Earn $1,300-$1,400/week, averaging 2,600-2,800 miles
• OTR Drivers: Earn $1,500/week, averaging 3,000 miles

Home Time That Works for You

American Trucking Group respects the balance between work and life. We offer reliable schedules that allow you to plan ahead:

• Regional: Out 7-9 days, home 1 day for every 7 days out
• Super Regional: Out 14 days, home for 2
• OTR: Out 3 weeks, home for 3 days

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.

Terminals & Benefits That Support You

With 30 terminals nationwide, you're never far from a support hub. Fifteen of our terminals feature state-of-the-art gyms, truck washes, and laundry facilities.

We also offer:

• United Healthcare after 60 days
• 401K with company match through Fidelity after 90 days
• Additional Pay: Detention pay ($16/hr after 2 hrs), Layover pay ($125/day after 48 hrs), Holiday pay ($60/day), and optional Hazmat pay

Orientation Made Easy

Get started with a 3-day orientation at one of our convenient locations: Joplin, MO, Dallas, TX, or Atlanta, GA. We cover your travel with a rental car or Greyhound (and Uber to the hotel, if needed).
