Freight & Running Area

Drivers move dry van freight across established multi-state regional lanes. Most loads are drop-and-hook, with some live unload freight depending on the customer. Freight is coordinated in advance whenever possible to keep drivers moving between assignments and provide consistent mileage throughout each 12-day work cycle.
Predictable Routing

Organized dispatch planning helps maintain a straightforward route structure from one load to the next. Average hauls of 700-750 miles reduce the need for frequent short runs while supporting dependable weekly mileage. Drivers operate within an established regional freight network rather than relying on constantly changing freight patterns.
Home Time

Drivers spend 12 days on the road followed by a guaranteed 48-hour reset every other weekend. The consistent operating schedule provides planned home time while allowing drivers to maintain steady regional miles throughout the month.
Truck Equipment

The fleet includes 2021 or newer Freightliner and Kenworth tractors with automatic transmissions. Trucks are equipped with APUs, inverters, refrigerator space, and TV and microwave mounts for added comfort on the road. Preventive maintenance is scheduled regularly to help minimize downtime and keep equipment operating reliably.
Pay & Benefits

Drivers average $1,350-$1,500 per week based on miles and experience. Additional detention compensation is available for qualifying delays. After 6 months, drivers become eligible for medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, and participation in a 401(k) retirement plan.
Additional Driver Details
