About The Position

Whether you're brand new to trucking or already running solo, the seat works the same way for everyone: steady freight, growing pay, and two weeks that end at your own front door.

A valid Class A CDL and current DOT medical card are required, and drivers must be 21 years or older with a clean MVR and background check.
