Strong fit if you want solo long-haul dry van with a large fleet carrier and can handle time away from home. Weaker fit if you need local day runs only or already need high seniority for preferred freight.
As a CDL-A company driver on U.S. Xpress OTR dry van, your week is long-haul: pre-trip inspection, hook to assigned freight, run lanes per ELD and HOS, fuel and scale as needed, drop/hook or live load/unload when scheduled, and keep the tractor and reefer/van paperwork clean for the next load offer.
The role is framed as OTR dry van company driving for U.S. Xpress, not a fixed local route.
The title calls for about 1–5 months of CDL experience; confirm exact minimums with recruiting.
