Job Description:

Class A CDL Company Driver – Mason City, IA

Home Time: Regional routes with consistent weekly returns to the Mason City area.
Equipment: Late-model fleet – all tractors and trailers under 18 months old, equipped with APUs, satellite tracking, and automatic transmissions.
Compensation Target: Top performers consistently scale to a $1,750 weekly ceiling.

Why This Position Stands Out

This is not a generic over-the-road post. You will run dedicated corridors connecting the I-35 and Highway 18 network, serving freight lanes from Mason City to the Twin Cities, Des Moines, Omaha, and Kansas City. You will handle no-touch freight with drop-and-hook operations, allowing you to maximize driving miles and minimize downtime.

Localized Route Highlights

  • Primary lanes: I-35 North to Minneapolis/St. Paul; I-35 South to Des Moines; Highway 18 East to Waterloo and Dubuque; I-80 West to Omaha/Council Bluffs.
  • Secondary lanes: US-69 to Ames and Ankeny; Highway 9 to Forest City and Albert Lea, MN.
  • All routes are designed for 5.5 to 6 days out with 34-hour resets at home in Mason City or surrounding areas (Clear Lake, Charles City, Nora Springs).

Fleet and Technology

  • All trucks are 2024 or newer – average fleet age is 14 months.
  • Every tractor is equipped with collision mitigation, lane departure warning, and in-cab cameras (driver-facing cameras are disabled).
  • Trailers are 53-foot dry vans with swing doors and lift gates available on select units.
  • Electronic logging devices (ELDs) are pre-configured for your home terminal in Mason City.

Health Blueprint and Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting the first of the month after 30 days.
  • Company-paid life insurance and short-term disability.
  • Access to a 24/7 telemedicine network – no co-pay for routine consultations.
  • Wellness reimbursement program: up to $600 annually for gym memberships, fitness trackers, or preventive health screenings.
  • 401(k) with a 5% company match after one year of service.

Pet and Rider Program

  • Pets allowed after your first 30 days – no breed restrictions, up to two pets per cab.
  • Rider policy: authorized after 90 days of employment. Riders must be at least 10 years old and complete a safety orientation.
  • Pet and rider miles are not deducted from your pay – they are complimentary.

Safety Gate Requirements – Strict and Non-Negotiable

  • Minimum 3 months of verifiable Class A CDL tractor-trailer experience (no exceptions).
  • No more than 1 preventable accident in the last 2 years.
  • No more than 2 moving violations in the last 2 years.
  • Zero DUIs or drug-related convictions in the last 5 years.
  • Clean DOT physical and negative drug screen.
  • No more than 2 jobs in the last 12 months – we value stability.

What a Typical Week Looks Like

  • Dispatch Sunday evening or Monday morning from Mason
