Home Time & Route
This is over-the-road driving, and home time works differently here — expect to be out about 2 weeks at a time. We run primarily east of I-35 and generally stay out of the Northeast, though drivers who want to run the country can get those miles.
Hiring area: we hire CDL-A drivers throughout the Deep South.
Consistent dispatch and a defined footprint mean a predictable schedule and steady miles.
