Regional freight stability and predictable scheduling make this CDL-A truck driver position a strong choice for drivers who value consistency from week to week. Operating from the Knoxville area, this fleet runs established interstate lanes where freight remains steady throughout the year and dispatch planning helps minimize downtime between loads. Drivers spend more time moving freight and less time waiting for the next assignment. 

Pay & Benefits

Drivers typically earn between $1,350 and $1,500 per week depending on mileage, freight volume, and experience. Weekly payroll provides dependable income, while eligible drivers receive medical, dental, and vision insurance, paid vacation, and retirement savings options. Approved drivers may also participate in rider and pet programs.

The result is a dependable work routine that supports both earning potential and regular home time.

Equipment

Depending on available parking, drivers may be able to take assigned equipment home during their scheduled reset.

Freight Operation

Freight consists of no-touch dry van loads moving across established regional and multi-state freight lanes.
