NIS EXPRESS
Redding, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 6/27/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/25/2026

Skip the unpredictable regional jobs that disrupt your personal life. Our company focuses on a structured system: predictable geographical boundaries, a dedicated truck for your exclusive use, and a support staff that prioritizes punctual home time above all else.

Financial Package & Payroll Details

  • Mileage Earnings: Start with $0.56 CPM, stepping up to $0.64 CPM as you build your career with us.
  • Weekly Income Target: Drivers utilizing their log hours realistically gross between $1,300 and $1,500 weekly (minimum salary of $1,300 guaranteed).
  • Weekly Distance: Run a steady 2,000 to 2,400 miles per week inside a highly dependable freight network.
  • Safety Incentives: Earn extra cash bonuses for maintaining an accident-free, clean driving record.
  • Pay Frequency: Automated direct deposits are processed on the exact same weekday every single week.
  • Onboarding Pay: New hire orientation is 100% compensated starting from your very first classroom hour.

Equipment, Logistics & Operations

  • Assigned Fleet: Take command of your own assigned Kenworth T680 or Freightliner Cascadia from your first day.
  • Zero Slip-Seating: No shared equipment, no truck swapping, and no fleet rotations.
  • Cargo Specifications: Exclusively dry van logistics—absolutely no flatbed work, no hazmat materials, and no heavy specialized cargo.
  • No-Touch Freight: All customer shipments are pre-staged, meaning drivers never handle or touch the load.
  • Load Operations: The workflow consists primarily of drop-and-hook assignments, with occasional scheduled live stop appointments.

Work Schedules & Home Time Commitments

  • Confined Geography: Operations are restricted strictly to regional corridors, completely eliminating cross-country or coast-to-coast dispatches.
  • Weekly Routine: Your 34-hour restart period is integrated into every single weekly cycle to ensure you return home regularly.
  • Voluntary Overtime: If you have high financial goals, you can voluntarily choose to stay out on the road longer.
  • Dependable Planning: We operate on pre-planned delivery windows, making your scheduled arrival time back home a firm commitment rather than an estimate.

Paid Mentorship & Training Phase

  • Experience Requirements: This position welcomes Class A license holders at any point in their driving career.
  • Training Program: A detailed 3 to 5-week over-the-road mentorship program connects you with a highly experienced driver.
  • Instruction Focus: Curriculums emphasize proper pre-trip inspection routines, log compliance regulations, and customer-site protocols.
  • Full Compensation: Receive your full regular pay rate during the training cycle—no discounted student wages allowed.
  • Solo Status: Transition into independent dispatch the moment your mentor signs off on your certification.

Company Perks & Benefits

  • Comprehensive healthcare options including medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) retirement plans featuring a company matching contribution.
  • Earned paid time off (PTO) accruals begin right after your introductory period ends.
  • Fully employer-funded life insurance policies and accidental death protection coverage.
  • Pet and rider authorizations are permitted in accordance with current fleet policies.

Hiring Standards

  • A valid, active Class A Commercial Driver's License.
  • Either a recent CDL-A graduation certificate or at least 6 months of tractor-trailer experience.
  • Passing results on the mandatory DOT drug screening and physical exam.
  • A motor vehicle record (MVR) showing a maximum of 2 moving violations in the past 36 months.
  • No drug or alcohol-related driving convictions (DUI/DWI) within the last 3 years.
  • Background check must be clear of felony charges for the past 5 years.
