Job description

Most regional positions promise consistency and deliver chaos. This one is built differently — fixed territory, assigned equipment, and a dispatch team that measures success by whether you're home when you're supposed to be.

Compensation Breakdown

• Base mileage: $0.56 CPM climbing to $0.64 CPM as tenure grows
• Realistic weekly gross: $1,300 to $1,500 for drivers running their available hours
• Mileage volume: 2,000 to 2,400 miles weekly across a stable freight network
• Performance incentives: additional cash for drivers maintaining clean safety records
• Payroll: automated direct deposit, same day every week
• New driver onboarding: fully compensated from first day of class

Equipment & Operations

• Assigned unit from day one — Freightliner Cascadia or Kenworth T680
• No shared trucks, no pool rotations
• Dry van freight only — no hazmat, no flatbed, no specialized handling
• Customer freight is pre-staged — drivers never touch the cargo
• Freight mix leans heavily toward drop & hook with select live stop appointments

Schedule Structure

• Territory confined to regional lanes — no cross-country dispatching
• Weekly mileage target of 2,000 to 2,400 is consistently achievable
• 34-hour home reset built into every weekly cycle
• Drivers with earning goals can opt into extended road time voluntarily
• Dispatch operates on planned windows — your ETA home is a commitment, not a guess

Training Pathway

• Position is accessible to CDL-A holders regardless of experience level
• Structured 3 to 5 week mentorship program pairs you with a senior road driver
• Training syllabus includes log compliance, pre-trip inspection standards, and customer protocol
• Independent dispatch begins immediately after trainer certificationFull pay applies throughout the entire training period — no reduced training wage

Employee Benefits

• Comprehensive health plan covering medical, dental, and vision expenses
• Employer-matched retirement contributions through 401(k) enrollment
• Paid time off accrual beginning after introductory period
• Company-funded life insurance and accidental death benefit policy
• Approved riders and pets permitted under fleet guidelines

Minimum Qualifications

• Active Class A Commercial Driver License
• Tractor-trailer operating history of 6 months minimum, or CDL-A graduate status
• Successful completion of DOT physical examination and substance screening
• Motor vehicle record reflecting no more than 2 violations within 36 months
• No impaired driving convictions within the preceding 3 years
• Criminal history clear of felony charges within the last 5 years
