West Coast Regional • Out 10 Days / Home 2 • $1,200–$1,500 for New Drivers • $1,500 for Experienced Drivers
Drivers in the Bakersfield region now have access to a strong West Coast opportunity with steady miles, predictable home time, and a clear pathway for both new and experienced CDL-A drivers. This lane is ideal for anyone looking to build stability without the pressure of nationwide OTR.
This position runs strictly in the Western region California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Idaho, New Mexico, and surrounding states. Pickups originate in California, usually within 200 miles of Bakersfield, and freight moves consistently to well-established customer locations.
A Dependable Transports manages this lane with an emphasis on structure, communication, and keeping drivers moving.
Home Time
Drivers are typically out 10 days, followed by 2 full days at home.
The schedule stays consistent week after week, allowing drivers to plan life outside the truck.
A Strong Start for New Drivers
If you’re a recent CDL-A graduate, this is one of the better entry points into regional driving on the West Coast. New drivers complete 3–4 weeks of paid mentor training, focusing on safety, Western terrain, customer procedures, and driving confidence.
Once solo:
New drivers average $1,200–$1,500 weekly, depending on weekly miles.
Solo CPM starts at $0.47 or higher, based on training performance and verified experience.
This lane gives new drivers a structured environment to learn, grow, and earn without being pushed through chaotic freight or unfamiliar nationwide routes.
Experienced Drivers Earn More
Drivers with 3 months or more of verified tractor-trailer experience transition directly into solo operations.
Starting pay begins at $0.52 CPM or higher, based on work history.
Most experienced drivers average around $1,500 weekly, with higher-mile weeks leading to even better earnings.
What the Work Looks Like
This lane is 100% no-touch, moving dry-van freight for familiar customers across the West. Drivers usually run:
1–2 loads per day
10–14 hour driving days
A smooth blend of drop-and-hook and live deliveries
The pattern is predictable, and the freight is steady, two things drivers consistently appreciate about how A Dependable Transports runs this region.
What You Need
A valid CDL-A and medical card.
New drivers must have completed an accredited CDL program (minimum 120 hours).
Experienced drivers should have a clean, verifiable history and be comfortable running day or night based on freight demands.
Why This Lane Works
It offers stability, clear expectations, steady miles, and a predictable home-time rhythm. New drivers get mentorship without pressure. Experienced drivers get consistency without being overextended. Equipment is well maintained, and the dispatch team keeps communication straightforward and respectful.
Weekly W-2 pay, full benefits, and the option to take your tractor home during resets are all included.
If you're within the Bakersfield region and looking for a lane that delivers real miles and real consistency, apply today. Openings fill quickly especially for new drivers.
