Below is a concise summary and analysis of the opportunity:

Job Details:

Freight Type :

100% no-touch freight, with over 50% drop-and-hook.

Routes :

Primarily along the eastern seaboard, with minimal travel far west.

Schedule :

Drivers are home every other week for two days, typically on weekends.

Training :

Conducted Over-the-Road (OTR) to expedite completion, depending on trainer availability. Paid $650/week during training. Requires 250-300 hours behind the wheel.

Pay :

Starting solo pay: $0.55 per mile (CPM). Average 2,200-2,800 miles/week, yielding $1,250-$1,600/week in the first year.

Benefits :

Medical, dental, vision, PTO, and more, starting after 30 days. Solo drivers can bring a dog or rider from day one (not allowed during training).

Requirements :

Age 21+ with a valid Class A CDL.

Clean driving record:

No speeding 15+ mph over the limit. No serious accidents. No DUIs in the last 5 years (max one lifetime). No misdemeanors or felonies in the last 10 years; none involving children ever. No failed or refused DOT drug/alcohol tests.

Pros:

No-touch freight and high percentage of drop-and-hook reduce physical strain and wait times. Competitive starting pay ($0.55 CPM) with solid weekly earnings for new drivers. Comprehensive training (250-300 hours) compared to some companies offering minimal training (e.g., 1 week or Home time every other week, typically on weekends, is predictable. Benefits kick in after 30 days, which is relatively quick. Pet and rider policies from day one (post-training) are attractive for work-life balance.

Cons:

Training pay ($650/week) may be low for some, especially if training extends due to hours requirement. OTR during training could mean less predictable routes or time away from home initially. Geographic limitation to the eastern seaboard might not suit drivers wanting more diverse routes. Stringent background requirements (e.g., no misdemeanors/felonies in 10 years, strict DUI rules) may disqualify some candidates.
