Job Summary
Were hiring experienced CDL-A drivers in Ringgold Fort Oglethorpe and Catoosa County for a solo OTR dry van seat. Drivers average $1525 a week on about 2000 miles with a $7500 sign-on bonus.
Most drivers dont leave a carrier because of one big thing. They leave because of the same few small things week after week. If any of these sound familiar read on.
I was always waiting on a dock.
Here about 85% of loads are drop and hook and 99% of freight is no-touch. When you do wait detention pays $12.50 an hour after the first 2 hours.
My truck was always in the shop.
Your truck is assigned to you and is 2023 or newer. Its automatic has double bunks and a 1250-watt inverter and you can take it home on your days off.
The miles dried up.
Drivers here average about 2000 miles a week across all 48 states mostly east of I-35. NYC is never forced on you.
My check never grew.
Your mileage rate rises with experience. After a year loyalty pay adds 3 to 6 cents a mile. A monthly bonus pays up to 3 more cents for safe productive driving. You also get a yearly raise and a per diem program and youre paid every week.
I wasnt paid when things went wrong.
Layover and breakdown pay is $100 a day and short hauls carry a $100$200 minimum.
I felt watched.
Cameras face the road not the driver.
On top of all that theres a $7500 sign-on bonus.
What doesnt change
This is OTR: 10 to 14 days out then 2 days home. After 30 days you get medical dental and vision plus a 401(k) with a company match up to 5%. Paid vacation starts after one year. One rider and one dog or cat up to 80 lbs can ride with you. Orientation is 3 days at $100 a day with a hotel room and bus ticket provided.
