Job Description

Forward is a leading transportation and logistics company renowned for providing dependable and high-quality over-the-road freight services. As a rapidly growing business, Forward is committed to innovation, safety, and driver satisfaction, establishing itself as a trusted partner within the trucking industry. Focused on supporting professional drivers, Forward offers a comprehensive suite of resources, competitive compensation, and a positive work environment that values the contributions of each employee. The company prides itself on fostering long-term relationships with both clients and drivers, ensuring consistency and reliability across all operations.

Forward is presently hiring experienced Team CDL-A Company Drivers for OTR dedicated lanes that operate across multiple terminal locations. These positions are ideal for driver teams seeking strong miles, dependable schedules, and predictable home time. With average weekly miles ranging from 4,700 to 6,000 miles, drivers will benefit from consistent freight assignments designed to keep wheels turning and income steady. The routes primarily consist of drop hook freight, with terminal-to-terminal deliveries streamlined for efficiency and ease of planning. Drivers will have the advantage of established lanes, allowing them to anticipate their weekly schedules and maintain balance between work and rest periods.

This role emphasizes a recently increased per-mile compensation rate, currently set at $0.78 per mile, designed to reward teams for their dedication and time on the road. Forward ensures that teams receive weekly home time, supporting a healthy work-life balance without sacrificing earning potential. Equipment provided includes 2023 or newer Freightliner trucks, outfitted with advanced features such as auxiliary power units (APUs), inverters, and refrigerators, offering drivers a modern, comfortable experience on the road.

Committed to driver-centric policies, Forward’s OTR Company Driver packages include a range of industry-leading benefits. These encompass affordable medical, dental, and vision insurance options starting as low as $9 per week for medical coverage, $0 per week for dental, and $1 per week for vision. Participants in medical benefits can also utilize flexible spending accounts (FSA) or health savings accounts (HSA) to further manage healthcare expenses. Additional perks include paid time off, an employer-matched 401(k) retirement savings plan, a safety bonus program to encourage secure driving habits, and an employee stock purchase program that fosters a culture of ownership and investment in the company’s success.

Ideal candidates for this opportunity will hold a valid Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) and possess at least 12 months of verifiable tractor-trailer experience within the last three years. Drivers must be at least 23 years old and be able to obtain a Hazmat endorsement within the first 120 days of hire. This ensures compliance with safety regulations while expanding the scope of freight assignments available.

Joining Forward means more than just a job; it means becoming part of a team that values reliability, consistency, and respect for its drivers. With a focus on predictable routes and steady freight, Forward offers a career path that balances high mileage and competitive earnings with the personal benefits of regular home time and driver-friendly policies. This dedicated team driving opportunity is perfect for those seeking stability in the fast-paced logistics industry while working for a respected company committed to their success.
