Location

Job Type
Regional CDL-A Truck Driver

Schedule
Out for two weeks with a scheduled 48-hour home reset every other weekend

This role is designed for experienced CDL-A truck drivers who want consistent weekly income, reliable home time, and freight that keeps them moving without extended downtime between loads.

Freight Overview

Freight consists primarily of no-touch dry van shipments, allowing CDL A drivers to stay focused on driving rather than handling cargo. A large percentage of loads are drop-and-hook, reducing delays and helping maintain steady miles each week.

Routes operate mainly east of I-35 through a network of established customer locations and distribution centers. This structure allows a Class A CDL driver to run predictable lanes while maintaining consistent weekly earnings.

Driver Operations

Dispatch works from a structured planning system designed to keep trucks moving and minimize gaps between loads. CDL-A truck drivers receive planned assignments that support steady mileage and a balanced schedule.

This approach helps CDL A drivers maintain a dependable workflow while operating within an organized freight network.

Equipment

Drivers are assigned late-model equipment, typically 2021 or newer Freightliner or Kenworth tractors. These trucks are maintained on regular service schedules and are equipped to support both regional and longer-haul operations.

Benefits Package

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) with company match

• Paid vacation and holiday time

• Rider policy available

• Pet policy available

Drivers also receive paid orientation and have access to referral bonus opportunities.
