Dry van route continuity and steady freight volume give CDL A drivers in Shreveport a dependable operation with consistent miles and an organized schedule.

Dry Van Freight

Drivers haul no-touch dry van freight through established regional lanes across Louisiana and surrounding states. Freight moves through a consistent customer network that supports regular load availability throughout the year, helping drivers maintain productive mileage without depending on short-term freight surges.

Drivers average between $1,250 and $1,500 per week depending on mileage, experience, and overall performance. Consistent freight volume and longer average runs help support dependable weekly earnings.

Qualifying detention compensation is available for eligible customer delays. Additional performance incentives may also be available based on safe driving, reliability, and company requirements.

Drivers operate on a structured 12-day schedule followed by 48 hours at home every other weekend. Home time is incorporated into the operating schedule, giving drivers a routine they can plan around from one dispatch cycle to the next.

Dispatch coordinates loads through established freight lanes with an emphasis on route continuity. Whenever possible, upcoming assignments are planned ahead to help reduce extended waiting between loads and avoid unnecessary changes to the driver's schedule.
