Commercial Drivers - Finally, a Company That Gets It

Rouse Trucking - Columbus, Ohio 43081 | $1,275 - $1,525 per week

Tired of broken promises? Let's be honest - you've probably heard all the promises before. But here's the thing about Rouse Trucking : we've been keeping our word to CDL-A holders for over 90 years.

Want to know what really matters? Weekend time you can count on. Not "home most weekends" or "home time available." We're talking guaranteed weekend off with a full 48-hour reset. Work your five days on area routes, then enjoy your days off.

What about the equipment? These aren't some worn-out hand-me-downs. We're talking 2021-2024 Freightliner Cascadias with everything you need : double bunks, SiriusXM, 24-inch TV, fridge, and a battery APU that actually works for Class A professionals.

How's the freight? The freight is straightforward - mostly hook-and-drop operations, average 250-mile hauls. Nothing crazy long, nothing too short to make money. All hands-off cargo because your back will thank you, and CDL A license holders shouldn't be doing manual labor.

What about pay? We have a $1,200 a week minimum for Class-A operators. Not some fine-print deal with impossible requirements. Commercial drivers earn $1,275-$1,525 weekly because the miles are there. Class A drivers earn $0.68-$0.71 per mile with our sliding pay scale going up to $1.08 CPM on area runs.

Any bonuses? Got a hazmat endorsement? Earn extra per mile on those touch-free loads, and we'll reimburse you for getting it if you don't have it. About 12-15% of our freight is low-grade hazmat - nothing scary for CDL-A professionals.

What about benefits? Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance, Delta Dental, 401K with company match after 60 days. Weekly pay every Friday by direct deposit. Real vacation time that increases with your years of service, plus guaranteed home Saturday-Sunday.

Can I bring my dog? Want to bring your dog? No problem - any breed, any size, no deposit. Family member 13 or older can ride along for just $5 a week insurance cost while you're driving.

Where's orientation? Orientation happens in Bloomsburg, PA for two and a half days. We cover everything - hotel, food, travel expenses - plus you get $250 on your first check for completing zero-handling freight training.

What's the territory? Real area work covering the Northeast and Midwest. We're not some mega-carrier where you're just a truck number. With 350 trucks, we're big enough to keep commercial license holders busy but small enough that dispatch actually knows your name and respects your weekend break schedule.

Look, we know you have options. But if you're tired of companies that promise everything and deliver nothing, maybe it's time to try a carrier that's been doing this right with Class-A drivers since before your grandfather was driving regional routes.
