• Weekly home time with a scheduled reset
• Approximately 85 percent drop-and-hook freight
• Minimum weekly pay program available for qualifying drivers
• Medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) with company match

Weekly compensation depends on experience and operating conditions. Eligibility and details for the minimum pay program are reviewed during the hiring process.

Equipment and Orientation

Each Class A CDL Truck Driver operates a late-model International, Freightliner, or Kenworth tractor. Trucks feature 1,500-watt power inverters, Opti-Idle climate systems, and sleeper accommodations designed for overnight comfort.

Paid orientation is provided, with qualifying travel expenses and hotel accommodations covered during onboarding.

Class A CDL Truck Driver Requirements

Applicants must hold a valid Class A CDL and meet applicable DOT and company safety qualifications. Twelve months of verifiable tractor-trailer driving experience is preferred.
