Regional CDL-A Driver: Drop & Hook Avg - Huntsville, AL

Your workday doesn't start until lunchtime, you spend it behind the wheel of a well-kept automatic sleeper, and the trailer you pull never needs your hands. This dedicated retail run out of Huntsville is all drop and hook, and your days off come back to back in the middle of the week.

The money

First-year drivers average about $83,000, which works out to roughly $1,600 a week, or $280 and up per day worked. The best earners on this fleet reach $96,000 a year. Add an extra $50 every week for safety and performance. Pay arrives weekly.

The week

Home weekly, with dispatch times between noon and 5 p.m. Expect around 2,800 to 3,200 miles a week, and your days off fall together during the week, which makes appointments and errands easier.
