We are seeking a professional, safety-first Class A CDL Company Driver to represent our fleet operating out of the Binghamton, NY terminal.

You will haul dry van freight across established Northeast corridors, with a focus on routes between Binghamton, Syracuse, Albany, Allentown, and Harrisburg. This role is designed for drivers who want consistent miles, modern equipment, and a company that treats the truck as a profession, not a number.

  • Must be 21 years of age or older.
  • Residence within 100 miles of Binghamton, NY, or willing to relocate without company sponsorship.

Fleet Equipment & Technology

  • Drive late-model tractors, all under 18 months old, with no units older than 2024 model year.
  • Fully spec'd for comfort: automatic transmissions, air-ride suspension, APU (auxiliary power unit), inverter, and in-cab refrigerator.
  • 53-foot dry van trailers with aerodynamic skirts and lift gates (where required).
  • All units equipped with ELD, forward-facing dash camera, and real-time telematics for route optimization.
  • Weekly PM inspections and a dedicated maintenance team at the Binghamton yard to minimize downtime.

Pay & Weekly Compensation Scale

  • Target weekly gross ceiling: $1,750 (based on 2,500-2,800 miles per week, plus performance and safety bonuses).
  • Pay structure: Base per mile plus stop pay, detention, and layover pay.
  • Per diem option available (tax-advantaged) if you qualify.
  • Weekly settlement, direct deposit, and a transparent pay stub with no hidden deductions.
  • Mileage pay is reviewed quarterly for fuel and efficiency adjustments.

Home Time & Route Corridors

  • Home weekly – typically 34-hour reset at home, with occasional mid-week home time on short hauls.
  • Primary lanes: Binghamton to Syracuse (I-81), Binghamton to Albany (I-88), Binghamton to Allentown/Harrisburg (I-81/I-78), and regional runs to Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and the Lehigh Valley.
  • No NYC boroughs, no Canada, and no off-route or forced dispatch.
  • Predicable start times – most departures between 0500 and 0700 from the Binghamton yard, with drop-and-h
