Full description
Looking for a regional position that keeps you on a consistent lane instead of sending you all over the map?
We’re currently adding Class A drivers to a dedicated Ohio-to-Chicago operation. Drivers run a repeating loop between Ohio and the Chicago area, average approximately 1,800 miles per week, and return home each weekend for a 34-hour reset.
Only 3 months of recent, verifiable tractor-trailer experience required.
Your Week at a Glance
Drivers typically complete 3 Ohio/Chicago loops per week, with the opportunity for a 4th loop when freight and available hours allow.
• Dedicated Ohio ↔ Chicago freight
• Approximately 1,800 miles per week
• Home Saturday and Sunday for a 34-hour reset
• Occasional opportunity to take a 10-hour break at home during the week, depending on freight
• 100% no-touch freight
• Approximately 50–60% drop and hook
• Approximately 40–50% live unload
• Additional earning opportunity for a 4th loop when hours allow
Pay & Weekly True-Up
Eligible drivers receive a $1,350 weekly true-up, which is equivalent to approximately $0.75 per mile at 1,800 miles.
Additional compensation includes:
• $12.50/hour detention pay after the second hour
• $100/day layover or breakdown pay
• Performance-based mileage bonus opportunity
• Additional applicable accessorial pay
Sign-On Bonus available!
Earn Up to an Additional $0.03 Per Mile
The Drive to Thrive performance program provides the opportunity to earn up to an additional $0.03 CPM based on:
• Safety
• Mileage
• Productivity
Eligibility begins with the first full month after hire. Drivers must remain active company drivers at the time of payout and meet applicable program requirements.
Late-Model Equipment
Drivers operate 2021 or newer Freightliner Cascadias or Kenworths.
Want to Earn More? Become a Trainer
Qualified drivers can increase their earnings by training student drivers.
Trainer compensation includes:
• Extra $250 per week while training
• Additional $0.05 CPM on all miles over 1,875 per week
• Up to $400 Safe Student Bonus per student upgrade
• Potential for $20,000+ in additional annual earnings

1,875 miles: $343.75
2,000 miles: $350
2,500 miles: $375
3,000 miles: $400
Even when a trainer does not reach 1,875 miles, the $250 weekly trainer pay still applies while actively training a student.
