Regional trucking positions cover a defined multi-state area, usually within a 500-to-1,000-mile radius of a home terminal. Drivers on regional routes enjoy a better balance between earning potential and home time, typically returning home every weekend. It is a popular choice for experienced drivers who want predictable schedules without sacrificing competitive pay.
A typical day as a regional driver starts at your home terminal, where you pick up a loaded trailer and head out on a familiar route. You cover two to four hundred miles within your region, making scheduled pickups and deliveries. Because the territory is defined, you learn the best routes, fuel stops, and rest areas over time. Most regional drivers are home every week or every other week, which offers a solid balance between miles and personal time.

This position pays $64,478 - $64,478/yr. Actual pay may vary based on experience, endorsements, and miles driven.
