About this job

Our company is hiring CDL-A drivers for over-the-road freight runs, open to both solo drivers and established teams. Pay is based on a share of the truck's gross revenue rather than a fixed rate.

Pay

  • Solo drivers start at 28% of the truck's gross revenue
  • Teams start at 32% of combined gross revenue, rising to 33% after 90 days and potentially 34% later
  • Settlements are paid weekly with a clear breakdown of load revenue
  • Example: a $5,000 truck gross yields about $1,400 for a solo driver; a $8,000 truck gross yields about $2,560 split between a team
  • Actual pay depends on completed loads and truck revenue; the examples are estimates, not guarantees

Home time

Home-time arrangements are worked out during the hiring conversation rather than fixed in advance.

What you'll haul

Freight runs through Southeast and Midwest lanes, with other routes possible, using a company-supplied tractor.

Requirements

  • Valid Class A CDL
  • At least 1 year of verifiable CDL driving experience
  • Some CDL restrictions are acceptable; no automatic disqualification
  • Clean driving history and current DOT medical card
  • Able to meet DOT/FMCSA rules and pass drug and alcohol screening
  • Good communication and time-management habits
  • Takes safety and equipment care seriously

What you'll do
