Job Description

Forward is a leading transportation company specializing in over-the-road (OTR) freight services with a commitment to providing consistent, reliable, and high-mileage opportunities for professional drivers. The company operates multiple terminal locations and is well-known for its dedication to driver satisfaction by offering predictable home time, steady miles, and dependable freight routes. Forward's focus on dedicated lanes and drop hook freight means drivers can expect streamlined routes and consistent schedules week after week, creating a stable work environment for team drivers. The company equips drivers with modern, well-maintained Freightliner trucks from 2023 or newer, complete with amenities such as APUs (auxiliary power units), inverters, and refrigerators to enhance comfort and convenience on the road.

This job opening is specifically designed for Team CDL-A Company Drivers who prefer the benefits of dedicated team operations. This position offers a recently increased per-mile pay rate of $0.78, with an estimated annual earning potential of $95,000 to $120,000. The role offers drivers the advantage of reliable weekly home time, enabling a healthy work-life balance without compromising earning potential. The routes primarily involve terminal-to-terminal deliveries utilizing drop hook freight, reducing load and unload wait times and increasing overall driving efficiency.

Team drivers hired by Forward will benefit from a comprehensive compensation package that extends beyond competitive mileage rates. Forward delivers a robust array of industry-leading benefits for OTR company drivers, including low-cost medical, dental, and vision insurance options starting as low as $9 per week for medical, free dental coverage, and $1 per week for vision. Additionally, drivers have access to Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) when participating in medical benefits. Other valued employee perks include paid time off for rest and recuperation, an employer-matched 401(k) retirement savings plan, a safety bonus program rewarding safe driving behaviors, and an employee stock purchase program, encouraging long-term company investment and ownership.

The ideal candidates for this role will hold a valid Class A CDL and have at least 12 months of verifiable CDL-A tractor-trailer driving experience in the past three years. Candidates must be at least 23 years old, and obtaining a Hazmat endorsement is required within the first 120 days of hire, ensuring that drivers meet strict safety and regulatory standards applicable to the transportation industry.

Selecting Forward as your employer means joining a company that is invested in your success and well-being. The combination of consistent miles, predictable routes, weekly home time, and a strong benefits package creates an unmatched opportunity for professional team drivers seeking high-earning potential and a balanced lifestyle. If you value steady freight and dependable scheduling, Forward invites you to take the next step in your driving career with their dedicated team driving roles.
