CDL Driveaway Driver — Independent Contractor, $0.72-$1.55/mi

Our company contracts independent drivers to move units nationwide on OTR runs. This is a 1099 independent contractor position, not a company driver or owner-operator job, and you work solo, not as part of a team. You pick the loads that fit your schedule across divisions like Singles, New Deck, Used Deck, and Boom.

Pay

• $0.72 to $1.55 per mile plus a fuel surcharge on most divisions, with the rate depending on the load and division

• Same-day pay once your paperwork and logs are submitted and approved

• Bonus programs available for referrals, clean inspections, mileage, loads, and safety

The work

• Loads typically run 300 to 800 miles, depending on customer needs

• You need to complete 3 to 5 loads per month to stay active, roughly 2 to 5 per month

• Check in with your dispatcher at least weekly, even between loads

• Pre-trip and post-trip inspections, photo documentation, and real-time tracking through MacroPoint for Truckers are required on every load

• You cover your own fuel and are asked to keep at least a quarter tank during transport

• Daily DOT logs must be kept through the Motive app; paper logs aren't accepted

Requirements

• Valid CDL Class A or Class B (Deck positions need a Double/Triple endorsement)

• At least 1 year of verifiable OTR commercial driving experience in the last 3 years (rideshare or delivery driving doesn't count)

• Deck positions require 2 years of OTR experience plus 1 year of decking and un-decking experience in the last 3 years, within that same 3-year window

• A reasonably clean driving record and steady work history

• Able to supply DOT numbers from past employers and documentation of the companies you've hauled for over the last 3 years

• Solid understanding of DOT hours-of-service rules

• Your own tools and equipment for decking and un-decking

• On-time paperwork, strong communication with dispatch, and punctuality at every pickup and delivery

• Escrow, occupational/accidental insurance, and deductible buy-back insurance are required; details are shared during the application process

Benefits

This is a 1099 contractor role, so no company benefits are included.
