What you'll haul

The route runs a fixed round trip between Connecticut and Philadelphia, covering roughly 2,300 miles a week. Loads are steel coils for construction, moved in a dry van on low wooden pallets. You'll need to nail the pallets to the trailer floor as part of securing the load in Philadelphia; once that's done, the freight itself is hands-off. Coming back to the home terminal, you'll just handle normal unloading as directed.

Equipment

You'll drive a 2022 Kenworth T680 with an automatic transmission, equipped with PrePass Elite, a front-facing camera, electronic logs, and parking available on-site.
