CDL A Regional Driver - Houston, TX (77021)

Steady miles and a repeatable schedule make this a reliable over-the-road position for drivers who want consistency. Freight runs across a national network with planned lanes, helping drivers avoid constant changes while still maintaining strong weekly mileage.

Freight Network
Loads move coast-to-coast throughout the continental United States, with most trips averaging 700–750 miles. Freight is dry van and 100% no-touch, with a strong drop-and-hook percentage. This setup keeps delays low and allows drivers to stay on the road instead of waiting at docks.

Equipment
Drivers operate newer Freightliner, Kenworth, International, and Volvo tractors with automatic transmissions. Each truck includes an APU, inverter, refrigerator space, and mounting options for TV and microwave. Equipment is maintained on a regular schedule to help keep drivers moving without unnecessary downtime.

Run Cycle
Drivers follow a 12-day run cycle with a guaranteed 48-hour reset every other weekend. The schedule stays consistent, allowing drivers to plan time at home ahead of time. Dispatch works from pre-planned routes so drivers know what to expect throughout the week.

Pay & Benefits
Drivers typically earn between $1,400 and $1,600 per week depending on miles and experience. Freight volume remains steady, supporting consistent weekly earnings. Additional pay is available when delays qualify, and after 6 months drivers are eligible for a full benefits package that includes:

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Paid vacation time
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Detention pay for qualifying delays

Driver Options
Drivers may take their truck home during reset if parking is available, or park at an approved terminal or drop yard. Rider and pet programs are available after approval.

Requirements
Valid Class A CDL with at least 3 months of recent tractor-trailer experience required.
