CDL A Dedicated Truck Driver - Ocala, FL - Home Weekly - $1,418/WkLocation: Ocala, FloridaPay Rate: $73,779 per yearPosition Overview

Our client is hiring CDL-A drivers for a dedicated discount-retail account running regional routes out of Ocala, Florida. Freight on this fleet is dry, driver unload using rollers, running the surrounding Florida market including Miami, Fort Myers, the Keys, Tampa and Orlando. Home time is weekly, which makes this a strong fit for drivers who want a predictable routine and a consistent paycheck rather than long, open-ended stretches on the road.

Key Responsibilities

• You will operate a Class A tractor-trailer safely and legally at all times, completing pre-trip and post-trip inspections, monitoring your hours of service, and keeping your logs accurate and current in accordance with federal regulations and company policy
• You will transport freight on schedule across the surrounding Florida market including Miami, Fort Myers, the Keys, Tampa and Orlando, following assigned routes, planning fuel and rest stops sensibly, and communicating proactively with your fleet manager when weather, traffic, or a customer delay puts a delivery window at risk
• Drivers complete three turns per week with an average of three to five stops per load
• This is a touch-freight account — drivers unload at customer locations using rollers, which keeps the day active
• Freight handling is part of this role rather than an occasional extra
• You will work the freight as described above, so a reasonable level of physical fitness and a willingness to stay active through the shift are genuine requirements, not preferences
• You will represent our client professionally at every customer location, maintain the condition and cleanliness of your assigned equipment, and report mechanical issues promptly so they are addressed before they become a breakdown

Requirements

• A valid Class A Commercial Driver's License is required, along with a minimum of 3 months of verifiable CDL-A driving experience
• You must meet all Department of Transportation qualification requirements and hold a current DOT medical certification
• An acceptable motor vehicle record and safety history are required
• You must be able to pass a pre-employment drug screen and comply with all federal testing requirements throughout your employment
• The role requires the physical capability to perform the freight handling described above, including repeated lifting, climbing in and out of the trailer, and sustained activity across a full shift
• Hiring within 75 miles of Ocala, FL and 50 miles of Pompano Beach, FL
• Drivers may take the truck home to park where it is safe and secure

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior dedicated account experience is preferred, particularly on fleets with consistent, repeating routes where familiarity with the lane and the customer builds real efficiency
