Job Description Drive with Albany Trucking - Home Time, Steady Miles, and Respect If you're looking for a driving career that values your time on and off the road, Albany Trucking is your kind of company. Known for its laid-back atmosphere and driver-first policies, Albany offers flexibility, consistent miles, and strong communication - without the pressure of being forced to stay out longer than you want. Whether you're running Over-the-Road or on a Dedicated route, Albany Trucking ensures you're home every 10-14 days, or sooner if needed. Our drivers typically run for two weeks and get two days off - but if life happens, Albany Trucking makes it easy to get home when you need to. Dedicated lanes vary, but home time is just as reliable. What Makes Albany Trucking Different? At Albany Trucking, you're not just a number - your dispatcher is required to check in with you daily, and you'll always know your next load before you drop the current one. That means no more sitting around waiting - and no-touch, dry van freight that's 70% drop-and-hook helps keep your wheels moving. Most loads are automotive, running primarily east of I-35 with an average haul length of 500 miles. Weekly solo mileage ranges from 2,500-2,800, with some hitting 3,000+. Competitive Weekly Pay Structure Base pay ranges from $0.45 to $0.55 CPM, based on location Earn up to $750/month in performance bonuses Average weekly pay: $1,300 to $1,500, based on miles and hiring area All miles paid: loaded, empty, and bobtail Weekly pay via direct deposit or Comdata Top-Notch Equipment & Terminals You'll be driving equipment that's never older than three years, with a fleet of mostly Peterbilt 579s, plus Internationals and Freightliners. All trucks come with inverters, fridges, and Qualcomm systems. Take your truck and trailer home - just ensure secure parking unless you live within 50 miles of a terminal. We have terminals in Tontitown, AR; Laredo, TX; Irving, TX; North Jackson, OH; and Charlotte, NC. Benefits & Bonuses Albany Trucking offers comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage starting on the first day of the month following 60 days of employment. A 401K retirement plan with a company match is also available. Drivers receive one week of paid vacation after their first year, two weeks after two years, and up to three weeks after five years. Detention and layover pay are available and vary by customer. Orientation consists of a three-day session, with meals and transportation provided, and drivers are paid $200 for completing it. Pet & Rider Policies For those in lease-purchase positions, Albany allows dogs of any size with no weight restrictions. Company solo drivers, however, are not permitted to have pets. Riders are welcome-immediate family members must be at least 13 years old, and non-family riders must be 18 or older. Want to Try Something New? Albany supports growth - switch from OTR to Dedicated or Local when spots open in your area. Ready to mentor? You can train new drivers for extra pay, too. Job Posted by ApplicantPro
