Job Description

Job Description:
Southern Freight Services, Inc. is a family-owned and operated trucking company based in Morristown, TN. We understand that experienced drivers have options, and we appreciate the opportunity to earn your consideration. We're currently hiring CDL-A Regional Drivers who are looking for steady miles, quality equipment, competitive pay, and a company where they are treated with honesty and respect. At SFS, you'll haul 100% no-touch freight and be paid for all miles—loaded and empty. Drivers start at 60 CPM and are eligible for additional compensation including detention pay, layover pay, breakdown pay, and extra stop pay. While we operate in all 48 states, the majority of our freight runs east of the Mississippi River. We offer home time every weekend for your 34-hour reset, allowing you to spend time with family while maintaining a strong earning potential. Our fleet consists of late-model Volvo and Freightliner tractors equipped with automatic transmissions, refrigerators, 1800-watt inverters, free SiriusXM Radio, PrePass/Elite Pass, CB hookups, and TV hookups. Trucks are professionally washed every other weekend and maintained at our Morristown terminal to help keep our drivers rolling. In addition to competitive pay, we offer Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance, Colonial Benefits Supplemental Coverage, a 401(k) with company match, six paid holidays, and both rider and pet policies. We know trucking isn't always easy, and we won't make promises we can't keep. What we can promise is that you'll be treated like a person—not a truck number. Our operations, safety, and management teams work together to support our drivers and provide straightforward communication every step of the way. If you're looking for a company where your experience is valued and your hard work is appreciated, we'd love to talk with you.
