The freight consists primarily of steel coils used for construction.

The coils are transported in a dry van and loaded onto low wooden pallets. Because of the way the freight must be secured, drivers are required to nail the wooden pallets to the trailer floor during load securement.

Once the load is properly secured, the freight is no-touch.

Drivers are responsible for the required load securement in Philadelphia. Upon returning to the home terminal, the driver is only required to complete the normal unloading/securement process as instructed.

Customer loads can occasionally be cancelled.

If a scheduled load is cancelled and the driver is notified by 11:00 AM EST, the driver will receive an 8-hour minimum payment for the cancelled load.

• Valid Class A CDL
• Minimum 6 months of recent tractor-trailer experience
• Safe driving history
• Ability to perform required load securement
• Ability to work the scheduled Monday-Friday shift

Drivers must live within approximately a 30-mile radius of Hartford, CT.

If you're looking for consistent miles, predictable home time, weekends off, newer equipment, and a dedicated route, this is an excellent opportunity for an experienced CDL-A driver who wants to be home every day.
