About the job

Class A Trucker - Trainees & Experienced Welcome
Are you tired of regional jobs that overpromise and underdeliver? We have built a driving lane centered around predictable income, dedicated equipment, and an operation that respects your federally mandated home rest.

Financial Potential & Earnings

- Weekly Gross: Expect a realistic gross between $1,300 and $1,500 for drivers managing their logbook hours efficiently. - Mileage Rate: Launch your employment at $0.56 CPM, climbing up to $0.64 CPM as your tenure grows. - Safety Bumps: Cash bonuses paid out regularly for maintaining clean safety records. - Payroll Stability: Direct deposit hits your bank account weekly without fail or surprises. - Onboarding Pay: Orientation is 100% compensated starting from your very first classroom hour.

Equipment, Cargo & Logistics

- Assigned Fleet: Take command of your own late-model Freightliner or Kenworth tractor from day one—no truck swapping or sharing. - Trailer Specs: Exclusively pulling dry van trailers, meaning you never need specialized endorsements. - Zero Driver Touch: Cargo handling is completely taken care of; you will never touch a single box of freight. - Workflow: Network leans heavily on drop & hook freight to eliminate dock delays, with select live stops required.

Scheduling & Geography

- Fixed Corridors: Operations are kept within a fixed regional territory so your routes are always familiar. - Year-Round Volume: Distance stays stable at 2,000 to 2,400 miles per week all year long, backed by a dedicated load planner. - Home Time: Your 34-hour restart is built into your schedule every week so you get home regularly. - Voluntary Miles: Flexibility to stay out longer on the road if you choose to hit higher financial goals.

Paid Apprentice & Student Program

- Experience Level: Open to CDL-A holders at all stages of their career, including recent school grads. - Mentorship Phase: A 4 to 5-week paid program pairing you with a senior driver to master trip planning, compliance, and defensive driving. - No Reduced Pay: Training compensation matches our standard orientation rate—no discounted student wages. - Solo Transition: Move into an independent solo truck the moment your mentor certifies your skills.

Insurance Perks & Benefits

- Full medical, dental, and vision insurance options for complete peace of mind. - 401(k) retirement plans featuring company-matching contributions. - Paid time off (PTO) starts accruing right after your introductory employment period. - Free employer-funded life insurance and accidental death policies. - Family and pet-friendly guidelines allowing passengers or dogs in your truck.

Minimum Hiring Mandates

- Valid, current Class A Commercial Driver's License. - Trucking school graduate status or at least 6 months of verifiable tractor-trailer time. - Successful completion of the mandatory DOT physical and pre-employment substance screen. - A driving record showing no more than 2 moving violations in the past 3 years. - Zero drug or alcohol driving convictions (DUI/DWI) within the last 36 months. - Background check clear of felony convictions for the past 5 years.
