Why choose regional driving?
The perfect blend
Regional truck driving combines the miles of over-the-road driving and the home time of local driving without sacrificing freight availability.
More home time
Although home time varies, most regional drivers get home weekly or even multiple times per week. Get the reliable income you need without sacrificing your home time.
Familiarity
Driving close to home means you’ll grow accustomed to routes, weather and traffic patterns in your area, which may lead to increased driving and earning efficiency.
