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
