Pay

• Reefer freight pays $0.90 per mile

• You're paid for qualifying loaded and empty miles alike, since you're driving either way

These are illustrations only, not promised earnings

• Extra pay opportunities may include detention, layover, extra stops, clean DOT inspection bonuses, safe-driving bonuses and referral bonuses

What you'll haul

Freight is 100% no-touch for the driver, a mix of drop-and-hook and live load/unload for reefer and dry van trailers, with some dedicated freight opportunities. On live loads you may wait on the dock, but you won't be loading or unloading freight yourself.

Routes and home time

Freight runs through the Midwest, Southeast, Northeast and East Coast, no West Coast and no New York City. The typical pattern is about three weeks on the road followed by five full days at home. This is not a home-weekly setup, so you should be ready for extended stretches away between hometime.
