Executive Overview & Route Logistics
• Yard & Customer: Running refrigerated grocery freight out of our Lawrenceville, GA terminal dedicated entirely to Publix.
• Coverage & Freight: Regional runs through Tennessee, North Carolina, and the Florida Panhandle. Everything is 100% no-touch freight pulled with assigned late-model Freightliner Cascadia sleepers (prior sleeper experience is required).
Weekly Pay & Financial Breakdown
• Earnings: Average weekly pay ranges from $1,540 to $1,635, which translates to a yearly gross between $80,000 and $85,000 (with top drivers hitting up to $95,000).
• Pay Structure: Base pay runs $0.60 per mile, plus $16.25 per stop, $31.50 per diem for every night you're away, and $20 an hour for detention.
Shift Schedules & Time Off
• Work Cycle: Standard 5-day workweek with an optional 6th shift if you want extra cash.
• Days Off & Layovers: You get 2 consecutive days off, usually landing on Tuesday/Wednesday or Wednesday/Thursday. Since it's a 24/7 operation, expect weekend work, A.M. or P.M. start times, and about 3 to 4 layovers a week.
