Runs average around 250 miles, creating a practical balance between productive driving time and regional lane familiarity. Repeated exposure to the same general operating network helps drivers become familiar with customer locations, traffic patterns, and trip expectations.

Weekly Pay & Weekend Schedule

Weekly pay is $1,350 to $1,650, deposited every Friday through direct deposit. Additional pay is provided for detention, layovers, breakdowns, and transition time during the first weeks of employment.

The regular schedule operates Monday through Friday. Drivers return home every weekend for a complete 48-hour reset, providing dependable personal time before beginning the following week.

Regional Lanes

All freight is no-touch dry van freight. Approximately half of the loads are drop and hook, which can reduce delays and allow drivers to exchange trailers without waiting through the full loading or unloading process.

The remaining freight includes live-load appointments arranged within the regional schedule. Dependable routing and established customers provide a more familiar operating pattern while dispatch supplies the trip information needed to keep each load moving.
