About this job

Our company contracts independent drivers to move units on OTR routes across the country. You work as a 1099 independent contractor, not a company driver or owner-operator, and you choose which loads fit your schedule across divisions like Singles, New Deck, Used Deck, and Boom.

Pay

  • Earn $0.72 to $1.55 per mile plus a fuel surcharge, with exact rates depending on the load and division
  • Same-day pay kicks in once your paperwork and logs are submitted and approved
  • Extra earning opportunities include referral, clean inspection, mileage, load, and safety bonuses

Schedule and loads

  • You pick the loads you want to run, but you need to complete 3 to 5 per month to stay active
  • Typical monthly volume is 2 to 5 loads, giving you control over your time
  • Loads generally run 300 to 800 miles depending on customer needs
  • Despite the company name, all contracted drivers run solo; there are no team positions
  • Weekly check-ins with your dispatcher are required even between loads

Requirements

  • Valid Class A or Class B CDL; Deck positions need a Double/Triple (T) Endorsement
  • At least 1 year of verifiable OTR commercial driving experience in the past 3 years (2 years plus 1 year of decking/un-decking experience for Deck positions)
  • Rideshare or delivery app driving (Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Spark, etc.) doesn't count toward experience
  • A reasonably clean driving record and steady work history
  • Ability to supply DOT numbers from past employers and proof of companies hauled for over the last 3 years
  • Solid understanding of DOT Hours of Service rules, with daily electronic logs kept through the Motive app (no paper logs)
  • Your own tools and equipment for decking and un-decking
  • On-time submission of paperwork and strong communication with dispatch
  • Reliable, on-time arrivals at every pickup and delivery
  • Use of MacroPoint for real-time load tracking
  • Properly logged pre-trip and post-trip inspections, plus photo documentation for every load
  • You cover fuel costs and should keep at least a quarter tank during transport
  • Escrow, occupational/accidental insurance, and deductible buy-back insurance are required (details provided during the application process)

Benefits

This is a 1099 independent contractor role with no company benefits package.

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