Job Description
Forward is a reputable transportation company specializing in over-the-road (OTR) freight services across multiple terminal locations. With a firm commitment to providing consistent, reliable, and predictable home time for its drivers, Forward has established itself as a leader in dedicated lane freight operations. This company prides itself on offering drivers a dependable working environment where they can achieve substantial mileage and steady income. Forward places a heavy emphasis on driver satisfaction and predictable schedules, ensuring that team drivers are equipped with the necessary resources and support to succeed on the road.
Currently, Forward is hiring Team CDL-A Company Drivers for OTR dedicated lanes, specifically designed for experienced teams seeking long-haul, high-mileage driving opportunities with established routes. These lane assignments typically provide an average weekly mileage ranging from 4,700 to 6,000 miles, offering drivers a robust earning potential while maintaining a structured and dependable schedule. This position is ideal for those who value steady freight, drop hook freight assignments, and predictable weekly home time, ensuring a healthy work-life balance.
The role involves driving 2023 or newer Freightliner trucks equipped with advanced features like auxiliary power units (APUs), inverters, and refrigerators. Such modern equipment helps improve comfort and reduce downtime during breaks, contributing to driver well-being and operational efficiency. The primary job functions revolve around terminal-to-terminal deliveries that are drop hook in nature, further streamlining operations and minimizing waiting times for drivers. This combination of well-planned routes, high-quality equipment, and consistent freight lanes aims to provide team drivers with an optimized driving experience.
Financially, Forward offers a recently increased per-mile rate of $0.78, reflecting its commitment to rewarding drivers fairly based on their mileage contributions. With expected annual earnings estimated between $95,000 and $120,000, this opportunity provides an attractive compensation package for experienced CDL-A drivers operating as teams. Furthermore, the company supports stability and reliability, giving drivers the confidence to focus on their performance without worrying about irregular routes or unpredictable schedules.
Beyond pay and mileage, Forward shows dedication to driver health and satisfaction through a comprehensive benefits package. Drivers receive access to affordable medical, dental, and vision benefits with costs as low as $9 per week for medical insurance, $0 per week for dental coverage, and $1 per week for vision insurance. Additionally, flexible spending accounts (FSAs) and health savings accounts (HSAs) are available to further assist drivers with healthcare costs. Paid time off and an employer-matched 401(k) program provide valuable incentives for long-term employment and financial planning. Safety bonus programs and an employee stock purchase program promote a culture of safety and loyalty within the company.
In summary, Forward is looking for dedicated and experienced CDL-A team drivers who want consistency, strong miles, and predictable weekly home time. Team drivers with Forward benefit from a high-mileage, dedicated freight environment, modern equipment, and one of the best compensation and benefits packages available in the trucking industry today. If you are a CDL-A driver team seeking dependable work with excellent financial rewards and industry-leading benefits, Forward offers a compelling career opportunity designed to meet your professional and personal needs.
