Drive-in freight stability and operational support help CDL-A truck drivers stay productive throughout the week while enjoying dependable weekly home time. You'll haul no-touch automotive freight through established regional lanes designed to keep miles steady and downtime to a minimum.

The Route: Drivers primarily operate east of I-35 hauling automotive freight. Most loads are drop and hook, helping reduce time spent at shipping and receiving facilities while supporting consistent weekly mileage. The average length of haul is approximately 500 miles, and drivers typically run between 2,500 and 3,000 miles each week.

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

Your Equipment: You'll operate primarily late-model Peterbilt 579 trucks, along with other well-maintained equipment built for regional freight operations.
