Over-The-Road / Regional CDL Class A Driver

Company Description

NEMA, Inc. is an Atlanta-based logistics and warehousing company specializing in OTR freight, warehousing, imports and exports, and international trade operations (including a Foreign Trade Zone). We run a professional, safety-first operation with a team that takes the driver relationship seriously — from dispatch to the executive level. We are currently expanding our OTR driver team and are looking for experienced CDL-A professionals who want a stable, salaried position with a company that operates with integrity.

Position Overview

The OTR CDL-A Driver position is a full-time, salaried role operating company equipment on long-haul lanes originating from the Atlanta metropolitan area. This is not a CPM position. Compensation is a fixed annual salary starting at $67,000 (but paid based on experience and route) bonuses and benefits, paid weekly — providing income stability that variable pay structures cannot.

Key Responsibilities

•      Safely operate late-model (2021 or newer) company-owned tractor-trailers on OTR lanes

•      Conduct thorough pre- and post-trip inspections and report defects immediately

•      Maintain HOS compliance and accurate ELD records at all times

•      Communicate proactively with dispatch regarding load status, delays, and safety concerns

•      Represent NEMA professionally at customer facilities and on the road

•      Adhere to all FMCSA regulations, DOT requirements, and company safety policies

Qualifications

•      Valid CDL-A — must be in good standing with no restrictions that affect OTR operations

•      Minimum 2 years of verifiable OTR driving experience

•      No DUI or DWI conviction within the past 10 years

•      No more than 2 moving violations in the past 3 years

•      No failed or refused DOT drug or alcohol test (undisclosed SAP non-completion is disqualifying)

•      Current, valid DOT medical examiner's certificate

•      Must successfully complete pre-employment road test, drug screen, MVR/PSP review, and background check

Compensation & Benefits

Annual salary: Starting at $67,000 bonuses and benefits — paid weekly via direct deposit. Salary is not contingent on mileage, load count, or freight volume, but is based on driving experience and route.

✓ Medical insurance

✓ Dental & vision coverage

✓ 401(k) retirement plan

✓ Paid time off

Home Time

Weekly home time is structured into dispatch scheduling, not treated as a variable. We believe consistent home time is not a perk; it is a basic condition of a sustainable driving career.

Equipment

Late-model fleet — 2021 model year or newer. Well-maintained, fully equipped, and assigned. You will know your truck.
