About this job

Our company's private fleet is hiring a regional CDL-A driver out of Hopkinsville, KY. You'll run regional freight with weekly home time, no-touch deliveries, and pay built on more than just miles.

Pay

  • Regional drivers can earn up to $110,000 in their first year.
  • Base mileage rate of $0.55 to $0.69 per mile, with average annual miles ranging from 62,355 to 196,040 (actual pay depends on location and miles driven).
  • On top of mileage pay, you can earn activity pay for tasks like hooking, live loads and unloads, layovers, stops, chaining, weekend miles, and evening shift premiums.
  • Certain non-driving situations (accidents, breakdowns, weather closures, rejected-trailer cleanup, wait time, and similar) are compensated through activity pay alone.
  • Average Day's Pay (ADP) of $240 per day applies for things like PTO, safety days, holidays, bereavement, and jury duty.
  • A $10,000 sign-on bonus is included, along with quarterly safety bonuses and annual pay increases.

Home time

  • You're home weekly, with consecutive days off each week built into the schedule.

What you'll haul

  • Freight is no-touch, so you're not loading or unloading by hand.
  • You'll run optimized regional routes, following traffic laws and local restrictions to stay on schedule.

What the job involves

  • Plan your workday, coordinate with your team, and keep freight moving safely and on time.
  • Complete all logs and paperwork accurately and follow DOT, state, and company rules.
  • Inspect your tractor-trailer before, during, and after trips, and operate it safely throughout.
  • Represent our company's safety and professionalism standards on every run.

Requirements

  • Class A CDL valid for interstate driving, with a Hazmat endorsement (or ability to obtain one, with a cleared background check, within 120 days of hire).
  • At least 30 months of full-time Class A tractor-trailer experience within the last 3 years (or completion of our company's Fleet Development Academy Program).
  • No more than 2 moving violations in the past 3 years, and no serious traffic violations in that time.
  • No preventable collisions in the past 3 years, and no preventable DOT-recordable accidents in the past 10 years.
  • No history of a preventable accident resulting in a fatality or catastrophic injury.
  • You must currently live within 250 miles of the Hopkinsville facility, or be willing to relocate within that range within 90 days of hire.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting day one.
  • PTO starts accruing immediately, up to 21 days in your first year, plus paid safety days (up to 4 per year).
  • 401(k) with up to a 6% company match, plus stock purchase options.
  • Company-paid life insurance and short-term disability coverage.
  • Associate discount card after 90 days.
  • Additional perks may include a referral program, rider program, driver mentor program, and parking at our company locations.
  • our company also offers the Live Better U education program, covering tuition, books, and fees for eligible associates.
  • Some benefits depend on job classification and length of employment; details are available through our company's internal benefits resources.
