Beast Mode Truckin seeks experienced Class A OTR drivers and recent CDL graduates for over‑the‑road runs excluding the Northeast regional.

Key responsibilities:

  • Operate Class A commercial vehicles safely and in compliance with federal, state, and company regulations.
  • Transport refrigerated and dry freight over long‑haul routes (OTR, excluding the Northeast regional).
  • Perform pre‑ and post‑trip inspections and basic vehicle care; report maintenance needs promptly.
  • Maintain accurate logs and paperwork consistent with Hours of Service (HOS) and company policy.
  • Protect cargo integrity and follow securement procedures for temperature‑sensitive loads.
  • Deliver professional customer service at drop/receive locations and communicate effectively with dispatch.

Compensation and benefits:

  • Average weekly pay: approximately $1,400–$1,500 (varies by experience and miles).
  • Base pay per mile: $0.45–$0.55, depending on experience; paid weekly.
  • Full benefits package including medical, HSA, dental, life insurance, AD&D, paid time off, and 401(k).
  • 3‑day paid orientation at the nearest terminal.
  • Modern equipment: primarily refrigerated trailers, with typical use of modern automatic tractors.

Schedule and home time:

  • OTR schedules with home approximately every 2–3 weeks, typically allowing 2–3 full days at home per cycle.
  • Flexibility for day or night driving as required by routes.

Minimum qualifications:

  • Age 21 or older with a valid Class A CDL.
  • At least 3 months of OTR, regional, or local driving experience in the last 12 months, or completion of a recognized CDL training program and acceptance into the company’s mentor program.
  • Hazmat endorsement required; must be obtained within 90 days of hire if not already held.
  • No more than two moving violations in the last three years.
  • No DOT recordable preventable accidents in the last five years.
  • No major moving violations (e.g., 15+ mph over limit, reckless driving, following too closely) in the last 12 months.
  • Must never have failed or refused a DOT drug or alcohol test; drivers requiring SAP certification are not eligible.
  • Valid DOT medical card with at least 75 days remaining at the time of orientation.
  • Applicants terminated from their most recent two driving positions (Class A or B) for safety‑related reasons will not qualify.

Additional information:

  • Emphasis on safety, professionalism, and reliable on‑time delivery.
  • Position is suitable for drivers seeking consistent OTR work, competitive compensation, and comprehensive benefits.
  • Background checks and pre‑employment drug screening (urine and/or hair) will be conducted in accordance with company policy.
