REAL MILES. REAL PAYCHECKS.
APL Cargo is hiring experienced solo reefer drivers who want steady miles, a truck that
runs, and a company that answers the phone.
Straight talk: this is true OTR — you're out about 2 weeks at a time, then home. But if
you live near one of our 22 home-weekly hubs, we can likely get you home once a week
to take your 34-hour restart at home.
AVERAGE SOLO WEEKLY PAY
$1,550 – $2,170 / weekBased on 2,500–3,500 mi/week at $0.62 starting CPM.
THE NUMBERS, NO GAMES
A Pay Ladder You Earn Your Way Up__________________________________________________________________________________
Your CPM climbs on a clear schedule — and how fast you climb is on you. Drive safe,
run efficient, deliver on time, and you move up. Here's exactly how it works.
Raises are earned on results, not just time in the seat — the drivers who run safe,
efficient, and on-time climb fastest. Miles average 2,500–3,500/week; we build lanes to
keep you moving.
HOW YOU EARN YOUR RAISE
These are the marks that move you up the ladder — and pay bonuses on top.
✓ Safety & clean inspections — Accident-free miles and clean DOT inspections
✓ Fuel efficiency — Hit 7+ MPG and keep it there
✓ On-time delivery — Loads picked up and delivered on schedule
✓ Reliability — Show up, communicate, run the miles
EXTRA PAY ON TOP OF YOUR CPM
• Performance bonuses — Clean DOT inspections & 7+ MPG fuel efficiency
• Breakdown, detention & layover pay — You get paid when the load doesn't cooperate
• Health coverage after 90 days — Comprehensive medical for W-2 drivers
• Driver recognition program — We notice the drivers who show up right
HOME WEEKLY AVAILABLE
22 Hubs Where You Get Home Every Week____________________________________________________________________________________
OTR doesn't have to mean gone for weeks. If you live within about 100 miles of one of our
22 home-weekly locations, we can likely run you on lanes that get you home once a week to
take your 34-hour restart at home — instead of resetting on the road.
To be clear: this is a weekly 34-hour reset at home, not guaranteed Saturday–Sunday off.
The day your reset lands depends on your run, but you'll be home about every 7 days.
Home weekly means a 34-hour restart taken at home roughly once a week — not a set
weekend off. It depends on living within ~100 miles of a hub and available freight in your
area. Not near a hub? You can still run true OTR with home time every 2 weeks — talk to
a recruiter about what's realistic for where you live.
WHAT YOU GET
Built For Drivers Who Run Hard____________________________________________________________________________________
Everything here comes from one question we ask ourselves: would this have mattered
when we were the ones behind the wheel?
■ Late-Model Fleet
Drop & hook loads on well-maintained, modern reefer equipment. Less waiting, more rolling.
■ Home Every 2 Weeks
Consistent, predictable home time you can plan your life around. Pet-friendly, too.
■ Safety First
A real safety excellence program — because a safe driver is a driver who's still earning next year.
■ 24/7 Support
Break down at 2 a.m.? Someone picks up. Real people, not a ticket you'll never hear back on.
■ Room to Grow
Clear path to better routes and leadership roles. We promote the drivers who earn it.
■ 48-State Freight
Steady reefer freight coast to coast, planned around keeping you moving, not parked.
WHO YOU'RE DRIVING FOR
We Started In Your Seat____________________________________________________________________________________
APL Cargo was founded in 2014 by people who drove the miles first. We know what an empty
promise sounds like on a recruiting call — because we heard plenty of them.
That's why this page tells you the hard part up front. It's why our dispatch actually plans your
loads instead of leaving you guessing. We treat drivers like family because that's how we'd
want to be treated out there.
