CDL A Truck Driver

Job Description

Job Description

Reliable home time remains one of the most important factors for professional drivers. This position offers home time every 10-14 days, competitive weekly earnings of $1,300-$1,500, and established freight that helps drivers maintain a balance between life on the road and time at home.

Why Drivers Like This Opportunity

Your dispatcher is required to check in daily, and you'll always know your next load before you drop the current one. That means less waiting between loads and more productive miles. No-touch dry van freight is approximately 70% drop-and-hook, helping drivers stay productive while reducing delays at customer locations. Most freight is automotive freight moving primarily east of I-35, with an average haul length of approximately 500 miles. Weekly solo mileage generally ranges from 2,500-2,800 miles, with some drivers exceeding 3,000 miles.

Pay & Performance Incentives

• Base pay ranges from $0.45 to $0.55 CPM, based on location
• Earn up to $750 per month in performance bonuses
• Average weekly pay: $1,300-$1,500 based on miles and hiring area
• All miles paid, including loaded, empty, and bobtail miles
• Weekly pay via direct deposit or Comdata

Equipment & Terminal Network

Drivers operate equipment that is generally less than three years old, consisting primarily of Peterbilt 579s along with International and Freightliner trucks. Equipment includes inverters, refrigerators, and Qualcomm systems to help drivers stay comfortable and productive on the road.

Drivers may take their truck and trailer home, provided secure parking is available. Exceptions apply for drivers living within 50 miles of a terminal.

Terminal locations include Tontitown, Arkansas; Laredo and Irving, Texas; North Jackson, Ohio; and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Benefits & Additional Pay

Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage begins on the first day of the month following 60 days of employment. A 401(k) retirement plan with company match is also available. Drivers receive one week of paid vacation after the first year, two weeks after two years, and up to three weeks after five years. Detention pay and layover pay are available based on customer requirements. Orientation consists of a three-day session with transportation and meals provided, and drivers receive $200 for completing orientation.

Pet & Rider Program

Lease-purchase drivers may bring dogs with no weight restrictions. Pets are not permitted for company solo drivers. Riders are welcome. Immediate family members must be at least 13 years old, and non-family riders must be at least 18 years old.
