CDL-A Regional Truck Driver

Weekly Pay: $1,350-$1,500 average Location: Tallahassee, FL (32301) Home Time: 48 hours every other weekend Freight: No-touch regional dry van freight

Regional lane coverage and dependable home time make this Tallahassee position a straightforward option for CDL-A truck drivers looking for steady regional work. The fleet runs on a repeating 12-day cycle with longer average hauls, no-touch freight, and a full 48-hour reset every other weekend.

What This Run Looks Like

The focus is keeping drivers productive across established Southeast regional lanes. Average hauls run 700-750 miles, giving drivers longer stretches behind the wheel instead of building the week entirely around short trips.

Most freight is drop-and-hook and no-touch. Some customers require live unloads, but drivers are not responsible for handling freight. Loads are planned ahead whenever possible to keep the transition between assignments moving efficiently.

The schedule is straightforward: run for 12 days, then return home for a guaranteed 48-hour reset every other weekend.

Truck Setup

The fleet consists of 2021 or newer Freightliner and Kenworth tractors with automatic transmissions.

Drivers have equipment designed for extended regional runs, including APUs, inverters, refrigerator space, and TV and microwave mounts. Preventive maintenance is completed regularly to help keep trucks available and reduce avoidable equipment downtime.

Compensation Package

Average weekly earnings range from $1,350-$1,500 based on miles and experience. Qualifying delays are eligible for additional detention compensation.

Benefits

become available after 6 months and include medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, and participation in a 401(k) retirement plan.

Home Time and Driver Options

A full 48-hour reset is scheduled every other weekend after completing the 12-day operating cycle.

When safe parking is available, drivers can take their assigned truck home for the reset. Approved parking locations can also be used when needed.

Rider and pet programs are available for eligible drivers after approval. Dispatch and maintenance support are available throughout the run for routing, load coordination, and equipment needs.
