Herman N Logistics

Same base rate for everyone, no waiting to "earn" a higher tier. You'll run retail stores from the Maquoketa hub across the Midwest and Plains, getting home weekly for a full reset. If you've got 3 months of tractor-trailer driving in the last 36 months, or 6 months verified in the last 5 years, and a clean record, you can apply.

What you'll earn

Drivers average about $1,825 a week, roughly $95,000 a year, with an all-in rate near $1.18 per mile. Here's how it adds up:

- Flat base of $0.75 per mile, whatever your experience

- $285 for every full trailer unload

- $20 for every stop

- $50 for every backhaul

Pay arrives weekly.

Sign-on bonus: $2,500, paid over six months

- $500 on your first load

- $500 at 30 days

- $250 each at 60, 90, 120 and 150 days

- $500 at 180 days

How the week runs

- Home weekly for a 34-hour reset

- About 2 loads and 1,500 miles a week, with 3 to 5 stops per route

- Early-morning store arrivals, so some night driving, plus a required 10-hour break before you unload

- Week one is paid ride-along training at $150 a day

What the job is really like

- 100% driver-touch freight: live unloads, box by box, on roller ramps

- Modern Internationals, Freightliners and Kenworths

- Support staff on site around the clock

- You'll need to handle extreme temperatures, stay patient and be good with customers

Before you apply

- Bring two weeks of supplies to orientation

- You need secure home-time parking, either on your own property or at a gated lot with guard or camera security

Who we're looking for

- A valid Class A CDL

- The experience above and a clean driving record

- Comfort with a urine and hair follicle drug screen

What comes with the job

- Medical, dental and vision insurance

- 401(k) options

- Paid time off

- Vacation that grows with tenure: 1 week after a year, 2 after two years, 3 after seven, 4 after ten
