About The Position

Some driving jobs keep you guessing — different freight, different schedule, different paycheck every week. This one doesn't. You'll know your lane, you'll know your miles, and you'll know exactly when you're getting home. That kind of predictability is hard to find in this industry.

Life On This Route:
Dry van freight moving through a defined regional territory. Assigned late-model truck waiting for you — no pool equipment, no sharing. Fleet runs Freightliner Cascadia and Kenworth — well-maintained, modern cabs. Mix of drop & hook efficiency and live customer appointments. Hands off the freight — this is a strictly no-touch operation. One dispatcher. Your dispatcher. Building your schedule around your life, not theirs.

Getting Home:
Weekly reset at home — 34 hours, every single week without exception. Lanes are structured so your arrival window is predictable, not approximate. Drivers who want additional earning power can voluntarily extend their time out.

Starting Your Career Here:
No experience hauling commercially? That's not a dealbreaker. Paid training runs 3 to 5 weeks — your instructor rides with you, you learn by doing. Curriculum covers highway safety, log management, and customer site procedures. Solo miles begin the moment your trainer signs off — no unnecessary extensions. Every hour of training appears on your paycheck.
