Full Description

About the job Regional CDL-A Driver - All Experience Levels - $1,300-$1,500

Most regional positions promise consistency and deliver chaos. This one is built differently - fixed territory, assigned equipment, and a dispatch team that measures success by whether you're home when you're supposed to be.

Compensation Breakdown:

  • Base mileage: $0.56 CPM climbing to $0.64 CPM as tenure grows
  • Realistic weekly gross: $1,300 to $1,500 for drivers running their available hours
  • Mileage volume: 2,000 to 2,400 miles weekly across a stable freight network
  • Performance incentives: additional cash for drivers maintaining clean safety records
  • Payroll: automated direct deposit, same day every week
  • New driver onboarding: fully compensated from first day of class

Equipment & Operations:
  • Assigned unit from day one - Freightliner Cascadia or Kenworth T680
  • No shared trucks, no pool rotations
  • Dry van freight only - no hazmat, no flatbed, no specialized handling
  • Customer freight is pre-staged - drivers never touch the cargo
  • Freight mix leans heavily toward drop & hook with select live stop appointments

Schedule Structure:
  • Territory confined to regional lanes - no cross-country dispatching
  • Weekly mileage target of 2,000 to 2,400 is consistently achievable
  • 34-hour home reset built into every weekly cycle
  • Drivers with earning goals can opt into extended road time voluntarily
  • Dispatch operates on planned windows - your ETA home is a commitment, not a guess

Training Pathway:
  • Position is accessible to CDL-A holders regardless of experience level
  • Structured 3 to 5 week mentorship program pairs you with a senior road driver
  • Training syllabus includes log compliance, pre-trip inspection standards, and customer protocol
  • Independent dispatch begins immediately after trainer certification
  • Full pay applies throughout the entire training period - no reduced training wage

Employee Benefits:
  • Comprehensive health plan covering medical, dental, and vision expenses
  • Employer-matched retirement contributions through 401(k) enrollment
  • Paid time off accrual beginning after introductory period
  • Company-funded life insurance and accidental death benefit policy
  • Approved riders and pets permitted under fleet guidelines

Minimum Qualifications:
  • Active Class A Commercial Driver License
  • Tractor-trailer operating history of 6 months minimum, or CDL-A graduate status
  • Successful completion of DOT physical examination and substance screening
  • Motor vehicle record reflecting no more than 2 violations within 36 months
  • No impaired driving convictions within the preceding 3 years
  • Criminal history clear of felony charges within the last 5 years
