Not every driver wants this job, and that is fine. It is a dedicated retail route with hand unloading, early starts and weekly home time, and the drivers who take it earn $1,400 to $1,800 a week. American Driver is filling seats for drivers in Quincy, Havana, Chattahoochee and Gretna. Read both lists below and decide for yourself.
This job fits you if
- You want to be home every week, not every three
- You would rather unload than sit at a dock waiting
- You like knowing your stores and your lanes
- You have at least 3 months in a tractor-trailer
This job is not for you if
- You want 100% no-touch freight
- You cannot start early in the morning
- You have no secure place to park a truck and trailer at home
What you earn
Weekly pay runs $1,400 to $1,800. Mileage is $0.55 to $0.58 per mile based on verifiable experience. On top of that you get $240 for every full trailer you unload and $50 for each backhaul. Pay comes every week. A $2,000 sign-on bonus pays $500 after your first load, $500 at 30 days and $1,000 at 60 days.
How the work goes
You run about 1,600 miles and 3 loads a week across Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Each route has 1 to 6 store stops, and you unload on rollers. Deliveries start early, and some weeks include nights, weekends or holidays.
