Job description

Some driving jobs keep you guessing — different freight, different schedule, different paycheck every week. This one doesn't. You'll know your lane, you'll know your miles, and you'll know exactly when you're getting home. That kind of predictability is hard to find in this industry.

What You’ll Earn:

• Weekly take-home averages between $1,300 and $1,500
• Mileage rate ranging from $0.56 to $0.64 CPM
• Expect 2,000 to 2,400 miles on a typical week
• Short haul bonus pay on loads under 100 miles
• Cash bonuses tied to safety performance and on-time delivery
• Direct deposit every Friday — no delays, no excuses
• Company covers your entire orientation period

Life On This Route:

• Dry van freight moving through a defined regional territory
• Assigned late‑model truck waiting for you — no pool equipment, no sharing
• Fleet runs Freightliner Cascadia and Kenworth — well‑maintained, modern cabs
• Mix of drop & hook efficiency and live customer appointments
• Hands off the freight — this is a strictly no‑touch operation
• One dispatcher. Your dispatcher. Building your schedule around your life, not theirs

Getting Home:

• Weekly reset at home — 34 hours, every single week without exception
• Lanes are structured so your arrival window is predictable, not approximate
• Drivers who want additional earning power can voluntarily extend their time out

Starting Your Career Here:

• No experience hauling commercially? That’s not a dealbreaker
• Paid training runs 3 to 5 weeks — your instructor rides with you, you learn by doing
• Curriculum covers highway safety, log management, and customer site procedures
• Solo miles begin the moment your trainer signs off — no unnecessary extensions
• Every hour of training appears on your paycheck

Your Package:

• Medical coverage — doctor, dentist, eye care all included
• Company matched 401(k) — they contribute when you contribute
• Vacation days that actually accumulate
• Life insurance and AD&D policy paid entirely by the company
• Bring your co‑pilot — rider and pet programs available to qualified drivers

What This Job Asks Of You:

• Class A CDL — current and valid
• Six months in a tractor‑trailer, or a fresh CDL‑A with the right attitude
• DOT medical card and clean drug screen
• Two or fewer moving violations over the past three years
• No alcohol‑related driving offenses in the last three years
• Background clear of felony convictions within five years
• Consistent work history and a professional approach to the job
