About this job
Run a dedicated regional territory hauling helium cylinders to the same repeat customers week after week. No cold calling for freight and no touch-and-go dispatch, just a consistent route and weekends off.

- Leave on Monday morning and work through Thursday or Friday
- Spend 3 to 4 nights away each week, depending on your zone
- Be back home by Friday
- Rotate through 4 zones, one per week, so you stay in the same general area all week
- Stay in hotels rather than a truck sleeper
Pay and bonuses
- Hourly pay plus overtime, with heavier overtime opportunities from January through June
- Sign-on bonus of $3,000 or more, paid out in installments
- Safety bonus of up to $2,000 per year for safe driving
