Full Description
CDL A Truck Driver
Columbus, OH 43004
Regional Northeast freight with weekend home time and a Monday through Friday operating schedule.
CK Transportation is hiring a CDL A driver for a Columbus-based position built around consistent freight lanes instead of constantly changing routes. This fleet runs repeat Midwest and Northeast corridors where volume stays steady, allowing drivers to keep miles predictable and plan their week with fewer surprises.
A typical week begins with outbound freight early in the workweek, followed by planned reloads through established shipping lanes in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and surrounding states. Drivers normally return by Friday, allowing a full weekend reset at home before the next dispatch cycle begins.
Route Snapshot
- Regional Northeast dry van freight
- Monday through Friday schedule
- Home every weekend
- Mostly drop-and-hook loads
- Consistent repeat lanes
Because freight is planned ahead of time, drivers are not waiting on last-minute dispatch decisions or losing hours searching for the next load. This creates a smoother week and helps keep miles steady from paycheck to paycheck.
Weekly Pay ranges from $1,250 to $1,450 depending on miles and performance. A $1,200 weekly pay protection is available when eligibility requirements are met. Paychecks are processed every Friday.
Drivers are assigned 2019 or newer Freightliner Cascadia tractors with automatic transmission, APU, inverter, refrigerator space, and double bunk sleeper configuration. Equipment is maintained on a regular service cycle to reduce downtime and keep trucks road-ready.
Orientation lasts approximately two to three days. Hotel and meals are provided, and orientation pay is included with the first paycheck. Drivers leave orientation knowing their lanes, dispatcher contacts, and weekly expectations.
