About The Position

American Driver is hiring experienced Class A drivers for a Southeast regional position based out of its Jacksonville terminal. Drivers operate a 2023-or-newer Freightliner Cascadia or Kenworth assigned to them and receive 24/7 operations support. Freight is 100% no-touch dry van, with about half of loads handled by drop and hook and the rest by live unload, with customers unloading the freight.

Eight out of ten loads stay in the Southeast, including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, the Carolinas, and Virginia. Occasional loads may go as far north as Kentucky, Maryland, or southern Pennsylvania, or as far west as Mississippi and southern Louisiana. Loads average about 300 miles. Drivers run 1,800–2,500 miles per week and are home every week for a 34-hour reset.

Weekly pay is $1,250–$1,600, with mileage pay of $0.48–$0.60 per mile based on verifiable experience. Short loads have minimum pay, detention and layover or breakdown pay are available, and drivers may earn additional mileage pay for safety, miles, and productivity. Additional compensation includes loyalty pay after 12 months, yearly raises, and the opportunity after one year to train new drivers for an additional guaranteed $250 per week. A $3,000 sign-on bonus is paid in two installments.
