Job Description:

Class A CDL Truck Driver – Altoona, PA

Job Type: Full-Time, Regional / OTR | Home Time: Weekly | Experience: Minimum 3 Months Verifiable Class A CDL Tractor-Trailer Experience

Your Route Corridors Out of Altoona

Based in the heart of central Pennsylvania, you will run steady, predictable lanes connecting the Keystone State to key Midwest and Northeast markets. Expect frequent runs along the I-99 / I-80 corridor, with regular turns through the Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Cleveland freight zones. You will also pull into the Ohio Valley via the PA Turnpike (I-76) and return through the scenic I-81 corridor. No matter the direction, you will be moving essential freight through well-established distribution hubs, with minimal time spent in congested metro areas.

Late-Model Fleet – Under 18 Months Old

You will be dispatched in a late-model tractor (average age under 18 months) equipped with modern safety technology, automatic transmissions, and comfortable sleeper berths. Our fleet is refreshed on a strict rotation cycle, meaning you will always be in a reliable, fuel-efficient, and road-ready machine. No clunkers, no exceptions.

Compensation & Weekly Pay Scale

  • Target Weekly Gross: Up to $1,750 ceiling (based on experience, mileage, and safe performance)
  • Pay Structure: CPM (cents per mile) plus per-stop pay, with weekly settlement
  • Bonus Potential: Safety, productivity, and fuel-efficiency bonuses paid quarterly
  • Detention & Layover: Paid after 2 hours, at $20/hour

Health & Wellness Blueprint

Your health matters both on and off the road. We provide a complete benefits package designed for drivers who want stability without the hassle:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance – single and family plans, with employer cost sharing
  • Company-paid life insurance and short-term disability
  • 24/7 telehealth access for non-emergency consultations
  • Wellness reimbursement program for gym memberships, fitness trackers, and health coaching
  • Employee assistance program (EAP) with free counseling and financial guidance

Pet & Rider Policy

We understand the road is better when shared. After your first 30 days of safe driving with us, you are eligible to bring along:

  • Pets: Dogs and cats welcome with prior approval (must be secured in a pet restraint system while vehicle is in motion)
  • Riders: Spouse, domestic partner, or dependent child (age 10 and older) may ride along for approved trips, subject to safety orientation and seatbelt compliance
  • No additional cost for rider or pet – just a completed liability waiver

Safety Gate Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

We run a safety-first culture, and every driver must pass our strict gate. To be considered, you must have:

  • No more than 1 preventable accident in the last 2 years (regardless of fault classification)
  • No more than 2 moving violations in the last 2 years (including speeding, following too closely, improper lane change, etc.)
  • Zero DUIs / DWI / reckless driving convictions
