Local Driver CDL-A

Job Description

Job Description

Home Daily. Strong Pay. Consistent Local Miles—No Guesswork.

Alright, let's cut through the usual recruiter fluff. If you're a CDL-A driver and you're tired of chasing freight that doesn't show up- this local gig actually delivers what it promises. We're talking consistent miles, a schedule that gets you home every day, and a paycheck that averages $1,600 a week. That shakes out to around $83,000 a year for running regional routes. Not too shabby for sleeping in your own bed every night.

How That Paycheck Adds Up

It's not just about the base rate- the extras stack up fast. Here's the breakdown:

• Up to $0.62 CPM depending on your experience
• $20 per stop you make
• $37 for every trailer unload
• $20 for backhauls
• $25 per pallet restack-  because that little extra effort should get paid
• $25 for every clean inspection-  keep your record spotless and get rewarded for it

What the Day-to-Day Actually Looks Like

You'll be running 100% touch freight using a powered pallet jack- and don't worry if you haven't used one before, because we provide full training (including a 2-day ride-along at $100/day to get you comfortable).

You'll be hauling a mix of refrigerated and dry van freight , making deliveries all across Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky . On a typical shift, you'll cover 200–300 miles with 2 to 4 loads and about 6 to 8 stops . It's steady work that keeps you moving without running you ragged.

Just a heads-up- this is a slip-seat operation , so you'll be hopping into a well-maintained truck that's ready to roll when you are.

The Schedule – Straight Talk

This is a 3rd shift position with a 9:00 PM start . Shifts usually run 10 to 12 hours , so you'll get a full day's work in and still have time to decompress.

You'll have 2 days off each week for some solid recovery time- but you do need to be available for nights, weekends, and pretty much any day the freight needs to roll . That's just the reality of keeping dedicated freight moving on schedule. Also, you'll occasionally need to support our Woodlawn location when they're short-handed, so flexibility there is a must.

What We Need From You (Non-Negotiables)

• Valid Class A CDL – the starting point
• Live within 50 miles of Blue Ash, OH (45242) – and have your own ride to and from the DC
• Comfortable with live unloads and staying active during your shift
• A clean MVR and a clean background – we do check, so be upfront
• A solid work ethic – show up ready, stay reliable, and own your route
• Not SAP friendly – please take note before you apply

Benefits That Actually Kick In

After your first 60 days, you're eligible for medical, dental, vision, and a 401(k),  so you're not just earning for today, but building for tomorrow. Plus, you get paid vacation and 24/7 on-site support whenever you hit a snag.
