Regional freight demand and route coordination help CDL-A truck drivers stay productive while hauling no-touch automotive freight across established regional lanes. This position offers dependable miles with a weekly home schedule designed to support both work and personal time.

The Route: Drivers primarily operate east of I-35 hauling automotive freight. Most loads are drop and hook, reducing delays at customer locations while supporting steady weekly productivity. Average length of haul is approximately 500 miles, with drivers typically running between 2,500 and 3,000 miles each week.

Pay & Home Time: Earn $1,400 to $1,600 per week, along with the opportunity to receive a monthly performance bonus of up to $750. Drivers are home every week for a consistent reset, creating a dependable balance between regional miles and time away from the truck.

Your Equipment: Drivers operate primarily late-model Peterbilt 579 trucks along with other well-maintained equipment designed for regional freight operations.

Automatic transmission equipment
Inverter and refrigerator included
Assigned equipment may be taken home
Driver-focused setup for regional operations

The no-touch operation and high percentage of drop-and-hook freight allow drivers to spend more time driving while minimizing time spent waiting at shipping and receiving facilities.

Paid loaded and empty miles
