Springfield, MO

Regional CDL-A Truck Driver
Weekly Pay: $1,250 to $1,740
Home Time: Every 14 days (east of Mississippi) / every 21 days (west)
Freight: Temperature-controlled truckload and multi-stop refrigerated loads

This opportunity is designed for experienced CDL-A truck drivers seeking consistent freight, structured routing, and predictable time off. Freight lanes primarily operate through the Midwest and regions east of Interstate 35, allowing drivers to maintain steady movement while supporting temperature-controlled shipping networks. This role fits professional drivers who want nationwide exposure without being required to run every market.

Freight Network: Freight consists of temperature-controlled truckload and multi-stop refrigerated shipments moving through established regional corridors. Most routes remain within Midwest and eastern freight lanes, with occasional runs extending across the 48-state network depending on customer demand.

Drivers operating in this fleet are not required to run New York City or the five boroughs, providing flexibility for those who prefer to avoid those areas.
