Maquoketa Retail Driver | $1,825 a Week, About $95,000 a Year | Flat $0.75 Per Mile
Same base rate for everyone, no waiting to "earn" a higher tier. You'll run retail stores from the Maquoketa hub across the Midwest and Plains, getting home weekly for a full reset. If you've got 3 months of tractor-trailer driving in the last 36 months, or 6 months verified in the last 5 years, and a clean record, you can apply.

Drivers average about $1,825 a week, roughly $95,000 a year, with an all-in rate near $1.18 per mile. Here's how it adds up:

What the job is really like
- 100% driver-touch freight: live unloads, box by box, on roller ramps
- Modern Internationals, Freightliners and Kenworths
- Support staff on site around the clock
