Job Description

CDL A Truck Driver
Columbus, OH 43004

Weekly Pay – $1,350 to $1,550
Monday Through Friday | Home Every Weekend

Regional freight stability and dispatch coordination help create an organized workweek for drivers on this Northeast fleet. This CDL A truck driver position operates on established regional lanes with primarily no-touch dry van freight, planned load assignments, and a schedule that provides a full 48-hour reset at home every weekend.

Freight & Dispatch

Drivers move freight throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, and surrounding states. The operation uses a combination of drop-and-hook and scheduled dry van loads, with the majority of freight requiring no driver unloading.

Dispatch works to coordinate upcoming assignments before the current trip is completed whenever possible. This approach helps limit unnecessary gaps between loads and keeps drivers informed about what is coming next. Repeat freight corridors also allow drivers to become familiar with common customer locations and regional routes over time.

Weekly Schedule

The normal operating schedule runs Monday through Friday. Drivers complete regional assignments throughout the week before returning home for a full 48-hour weekend reset.

• $1,200 minimum weekly pay available for qualifying drivers
• Primarily no-touch dry van and drop-and-hook freight
• $500 paid during orientation

Pay & Benefits

Weekly earnings range from $1,350 to $1,550 based on miles and performance, with payroll processed every Friday. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, paid vacation, holiday pay, safety incentives, E-Z Pass, and I-Pass coverage.

Orientation & Equipment

Orientation lasts approximately 2.5 days with hotel accommodations and meals provided. Drivers receive information about the regional operation, dispatch process, and position expectations before beginning their first assignment.
