CDL A Truck Driver - OTR Dry Van
Hiring Area: Charlotte, NC
Home time: Every other weekend
Weekly pay: $1,300-$1,450
Freight: No-touch dry van
Equipment: Automatic trucks
Schedule Flow
Drivers in this fleet follow a 12-day run with a full 48-hour reset at home every other weekend. Trips are typically assigned ahead of time, which helps create a consistent weekly routine and reduces time spent waiting between loads. This structure allows drivers to stay productive during the week while still having dependable time off built into each cycle.
Freight moves through a steady interstate network where lanes remain consistent instead of constantly changing. Drivers are able to stay within a predictable operating pattern, which helps maintain strong weekly mileage and reduces unnecessary downtime between assignments.
What You'll Be Running
Dry van freight moves across multi-state routes with most loads being no-touch. A mix of drop-and-hook and live loads keeps freight moving efficiently, while haul lengths are designed to support steady miles throughout the week. Consistent customer lanes help maintain a reliable flow of freight from one trip to the next.
Equipment
Drivers operate 2021 or newer Freightliner and Kenworth tractors with automatic transmission. Most trucks include APUs, inverters, and refrigerator space to support comfort on longer runs. Equipment is maintained through a company-supported network to help reduce downtime and keep trucks running consistently.
Earnings & Benefits
Weekly earnings typically range between $1,300 and $1,450 depending on miles and experience. Detention pay is available for qualifying delays. After six months, drivers become eligible for medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, and a 401(k) retirement plan.
Driver Support
Orientation is paid, including travel, lodging, and meals. Rider and pet policies are available for qualified drivers, and support staff remains available throughout each trip to assist with routing, load details, and scheduling.
