This CDL A driver position runs regional routes hauling building materials, steel, pipe, machinery, and oversized freight. Loads are planned in advance to keep miles steady while still allowing drivers to maintain safe securement standards. Flatbed experience is required because every load must be properly strapped, chained, or tarped before leaving the shipper.

Schedule & Home Time

Drivers in this operation run structured regional lanes designed to keep you moving without unpredictable dispatch changes. Most CDL-A truck drivers are home every weekend for a reset of at least 34 hours, with many drivers seeing closer to two full days at home depending on routing.

Forward-facing cameras are installed for road safety only and do not record inside the cab. Equipment is maintained on schedule to keep Class A CDL drivers running instead of sitting in the shop.

Full benefits include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k) with company match, paid holidays, vacation pay, per diem, rider program, and safety incentives.
