  While we specialize in getting our regional drivers home every weekend, we also need the ability to provide capacity to our customers 7 days per week, including weekends. With that goal in mind, we are looking to bring on drivers with the flexibility to run on weekends and stay out for about 12 days…or longer if the driver prefers.  

 All drivers will run in our normal regional network, so should the need arise for the driver to be home for an emergency, family event or doctor visit, just let us know and, in most cases, we'll have you home the very next day. 

  Staying out for two weeks or longer is optional.  Drivers are welcome to be home every weekend for a while then choose to stay out for 2 weeks or longer from time or time.  Drivers are welcome to stay out much longer than 2 weeks as well.  It's the   driver's choice. 

In addition to the normal pay structure, drivers that take a 34-hour restart on the road earn an extra $100 for each 34-hour break taken away from home.

The $100 pay also applies in the rare situation that a driver who planned to be home for the weekend was unable to make it home in time.

Certain restrictions apply.

Drivers staying out for two weeks are consistently achieving 3,000 to 3,500 miles per week and earning 53 to 55 cents per mile including all applicable bonus pay.
