Job Description
Forward is a leading transportation company that prioritizes safety, efficiency, and driver satisfaction. Specializing in over-the-road (OTR) freight services, Forward operates a modern fleet of trucks and offers competitive compensation packages designed to meet the needs of professional truck drivers. The company has built a reputation for reliability and a driver-centric approach by providing steady freight, predictable home time, and competitive pay. With terminal locations spanning across multiple regions, Forward is actively expanding its team by hiring CDL-A Team Company Drivers for dedicated OTR lanes. This role is ideal for teams seeking consistent miles, strong earning potential, and a balanced work-life schedule. The employment type offered is full-time, with an attractive per-mile rate recently increased to $0.78, and estimated annual earnings ranging from $95,000 to $120,000 based on mileage and performance.
The Team CDL-A Company Driver position at Forward is designed to provide drivers with the predictability and stability that are often hard to find in the trucking industry. These dedicated lanes offer established routes primarily consisting of drop hook, terminal-to-terminal deliveries. This structure ensures drivers know what to expect week to week, allowing them to plan their schedules with confidence and maintain consistent productivity. Drivers can expect to run between 4,700 and 6,000 miles weekly, maximizing earning potential without sacrificing home time. Forward understands the importance of balance, which is why teams enjoy dependable weekly home time, enabling them to rest and recharge while maintaining a strong work rhythm.
Forward’s fleet features 2023 or newer Freightliner trucks equipped with amenities such as Auxiliary Power Units (APUs), inverters, and refrigerators, which enhance driver comfort and operational efficiency. As a company driver for Forward, teams benefit from access to company support, safety programs, and a variety of industry-leading perks. Forward also offers an employee stock purchase program and an employer-matched 401(k) plan, helping drivers plan for their financial future while benefiting from the company’s growth.
In addition to competitive pay and benefits, Forward provides affordable medical, dental, and vision plans starting as low as $9 per week for medical, $0 for dental, and $1 for vision. Flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA) are available for medical plan participants, further supporting drivers’ health and financial wellness. Paid time off is also included, recognizing the importance of rest and work-life balance. The company maintains a strong commitment to safety, offering safety bonus programs to reward drivers who adhere to high safety standards.
This role requires team drivers to work collaboratively to maintain efficient operations and uphold Forward’s high standards for customer service and freight handling. If you are a skilled CDL-A driver seeking a dependable, well-paying opportunity with a company that values its drivers and provides a supportive work environment, Forward’s dedicated OTR team driving positions are an excellent fit.
