CDL-A Regional Driver

About the Regional Operation

Regional lane coverage and clear dispatch coordination help CDL-A drivers move through the week with a better understanding of each trip. Established customer freight supports dependable driving opportunities while the schedule remains centered around returning home every weekend. Drivers typically handle runs averaging around 250 miles. This creates a balanced regional workload with regular freight movement instead of relying on a few unusually long trips to build the week.

Driver Setup

Every driver is assigned a late-model 2021–2024 Freightliner Cascadia. No slip seating means the same truck stays with you, providing a more consistent setup and reducing the time spent adjusting equipment between assignments. Each tractor includes:

• Double bunks
• SiriusXM radio
• 24-inch HD television
• Refrigerator
• Battery-powered APU
• 1,500-watt inverter

These features provide climate control, food storage, entertainment, and power for personal electronics during the workweek.

Pay & Schedule

Weekly pay is $1,350 to $1,650 and is deposited every Friday. Drivers also receive additional pay for qualifying detention, layovers, breakdowns, and transition time during their first weeks. The schedule runs Monday through Friday with Saturday and Sunday off. Drivers return home each weekend for a full 48-hour reset rather than receiving only a shortened break between regional trips.
