Pay & Schedule

Drivers earn $1,450–$1,575 per week, with additional compensation available through CPM pay along with detention, short-haul, breakdown, and stop-pay.

A 34-hour reset is provided every week, with opportunities to extend home time when scheduling allows.

Your Equipment

Modern dry van equipment supports regional operations, and drivers may take their truck home with approved parking or leave it at one of our terminal locations during home time.
