Stop guessing what your next paycheck or route will look like. Join a carrier that lays everything out clearly from day one. Operating heavily across the eastern half of the country (East of I-35), we provide stable freight, high-end equipment, and a workplace that treats you like a professional.

Why Drivers Choose Us:

  • No City Hassles: We completely avoid the five boroughs of NYC. You will never be asked or pressured to take a load there.
  • Your Own Cabin: The truck is yours and yours alone. You'll drive a 2022 or newer automatic Kenworth or Freightliner equipped with an APU for maximum comfort. Plus, you can bring your dog or a family member along for the ride immediately.


Pay and Scheduling Breakdown:

  • Weekly Income: Gross averages range from $1,300 to $1,550, with top earners pulling in upwards of $1,800 weekly.
  • Consistent Mileage: Run a steady 2,200 to 2,800 miles per week.
  • Home Time Rotation: Maintain a dependable schedule of 12 days on duty and 2 days off.


Freight & Logistics:

  • Dry van operations where you never have to touch the cargo.
  • 70% of the network consists of drop-and-hook accounts, while the remaining 30% is live freight.


Student Program & Full Benefits:

  • Just Graduated? We offer a 4-to-6-week paid OTR training course with a dedicated mentor. We guarantee paid Fridays during your training and instantly bump you to full solo pay as soon as you fly solo. Requires a 120 hour certificate from an approved school.
  • Paid Orientation: We take care of your travel and lodging, plus pay you $300 for completing orientation week.
  • Company Benefits (Day 31): Full healthcare (medical, dental, vision, pharmacy), 401(k) company match, employer-funded life and disability policies, and employee stock options. Paid time off starts accumulating on day one.


Qualifications:

  • Minimum age: 21.
  • Valid CDL-A, valid DOT medical card, and a clean driving history.
  • 6 months of recent OTR experience or a recent diploma from an accredited CDL school.
  • Must pass standard background checks and a pre-employment drug test.
