CDL-A Truck Driver — Home Weekly, Activity-Based Pay

Dot Transportation (DTI) is hiring CDL-A drivers to haul food industry freight from suppliers to customers and distribution centers, with multiple schedule options and regular time at home. Pay is based on the work you complete, not just miles driven, and both solo and team positions are open.

Pay

• You're paid for different parts of the job: miles driven, qualifying stops, pickups, drop-and-hook activity, and deliveries ($0.16 per case plus $0.37 per line item)

• Typical earnings run around $2,000 a week, though this depends on experience, route and workload

• New drivers with under 200,000 verified regional/OTR miles average about $90,000 a year; drivers with more experience average $104,000 or more, and top performers can earn beyond that

Home time

• Choose between a 6-days-on/3-days-off rotation, a traditional schedule of roughly 5.5 days on the road (the higher-paying option), or a team driving arrangement
