OTR CDL-A Truck Driver — $85k–$95k/Year, Home Every 21 Days

Our company is looking for OTR CDL-A drivers to haul 100% no-touch, full truckload dry van freight. You'll run solo as a company driver, spending 21 days on the road followed by 7 days home.

Pay

• Earn $85,000 to $95,000 per year, paid at 65 to 74 CPM depending on your experience and endorsements

• First paycheck includes a transition bonus, orientation pay, and PTO, totaling $2,450 to $3,775

• An extra $650 transition bonus kicks in after your first 30 days

• Short-load pay: $35 per load for runs of 0-100 miles, $25 per load for runs of 101-400 miles

• Pay increases periodically as you log 15,000 to 30,000 safe miles, up to a set ceiling

• Safety bonuses: $925 or $750 every 90 days for CSA performance, plus $650 every 90 days for on-road safety

• Higher mileage rate when hauling placarded HAZMAT (this is under 2% of all freight)

• Detention pay starts after just 1 hour, and other accessorial pay (like stop-off pay) applies when relevant

• Accelerated PTO builds up every 60,000 paid miles, from 3 to 9 days depending on your mileage history

Home time

You run OTR for 21 days, then get 7 days at home. When it's time to head back, you leave your truck at a Barr-Nunn terminal, and the company flies you home and back - or, if you're based east of I-35 and prefer driving, they'll cover your fuel costs to and from the Columbus terminal instead.

What you'll haul

All freight is no-touch, full truckload dry van. Trucks are late-model Freightliner Cascadias paired with newer 53' Wabash trailers fitted with tracking and cargo sensors. Each truck comes with a TV, microwave, fridge, power inverter, free Sirius XM, bedding, sheets, pillow, and CB radio. No runs into NYC or Canada.
