About this job

Our company Transport, a family-owned carrier hauling food-grade products since 1926, is looking for experienced CDL-A drivers for a Regional tanker route based out of Elizabethtown, PA. You'll haul items like chocolate, sweeteners, and oils for major manufacturers, with a pay setup built around consistent earnings rather than chasing maximum miles.

Pay

  • $87,000.00-$97,000.00 per year, with top earners making $115,000+/yr
  • $7,500 sign-on bonus, paid out monthly
  • $1,200 weekly guaranteed transition pay for your first 6 weeks
  • Loaded miles starting at $0.66 CPM
  • Quarterly safety bonuses and other driver incentive programs
  • Weekend premium pay once you've run your first solo load
  • Canada crossing pay available
  • Unlimited bonuses for referring other drivers
  • Weekly payroll via direct deposit
  • $250/day paid training rate for tanker training

Home time

  • Home every week for your 34-hour restart
  • Truck parking available at home or at the terminal if you live within 50 miles of an approved parking spot

What you'll haul

This is specialized food-grade tanker freight for established manufacturers, different from standard van or flatbed work. You run a Regional schedule that gets you home weekly while still offering strong pay potential.

Equipment

  • Assigned late-model tractors built for comfort and reliability
  • Refrigerator and inverter included
  • XM Radio included
  • Well-maintained, safety-focused fleet
  • Strong dispatch support and communication

Training

No prior tanker experience needed. Our company pays you to train for the specialized skills this role requires.

  • Paid tanker training at $250 per day
  • Paid orientation
  • Reimbursement available for tanker endorsement, TWIC, and passport costs after hire (a tanker endorsement is required at time of hire)

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid holidays and paid time off
  • Paid orientation

Requirements

  • Valid Class A CDL
  • At least 6 months of recent, verifiable tractor-trailer experience
  • Minimum age 21
  • Tanker endorsement required at time of hire (reimbursed afterward)
  • Must pass a DOT physical, drug screen, and functional testing
  • Clean driving record and solid MVR
  • Able to read, write, and speak English

The hiring carrier's name is shared with you once you apply through the DriverRoll app, where you can message them directly.
