Remote Heavy and Tractor‑Trailer Truck Driver – Nationwide (Home‑Based Route Planning & Fleet Coordination)

Join a forward‑thinking logistics team that lets you manage long‑haul routes, compliance, and driver communication entirely from your home office. Leverage your CDL expertise and tech‑savvy mindset to keep freight moving efficiently across the country without ever stepping into a cab.

About the Role

As a Remote Heavy and Tractor‑Trailer Truck Driver, you will serve as the central hub for route optimization, load scheduling, and real‑time driver support. Using advanced transportation management systems (TMS) and GPS telemetry, you’ll design cost‑effective routes, monitor Hours‑of‑Service compliance, and coordinate with shippers, receivers, and maintenance crews—all from a secure, cloud‑based dashboard. This position blends deep industry knowledge with modern remote‑work tools, giving you the freedom to impact a national fleet without the physical demands of over‑the‑road driving.

Key Responsibilities

• Create and adjust multi‑stop routes for 40‑plus tractor‑trailers daily, maximizing mileage utilization and minimizing deadhead.
• Monitor electronic logging devices (ELDs) to ensure FMCSA Hours‑of‑Service compliance and flag potential violations instantly.
• Communicate load details, appointment windows, and detention alerts to drivers via integrated messaging platforms.
• Coordinate with maintenance teams to schedule preventive service and emergency repairs, reducing downtime.
• Analyze KPI dashboards (on‑time delivery, fuel efficiency, cost per mile) and present weekly performance reports to leadership.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for customer service escalations, resolving detention, damage, or documentation issues remotely.

Requirements

• Active Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a clean driving record (no major violations in the past 3 years).
• Minimum 3 years of over‑the‑road or regional trucking experience, preferably in a dispatch or fleet‑management capacity.
• Proficiency with major TMS platforms (e.g., McLeod, TMW, Ascend) and ELD solutions (KeepTruckin, Samsara, Geotab).
• Strong analytical skills: ability to interpret GPS data, fuel reports, and compliance metrics.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable managing multiple chat, email, and phone channels simultaneously.
• Reliable high‑speed internet, a dedicated quiet workspace, and the ability to pass a background check.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certified Transportation Professional (CTP) or similar credential.
• Experience with hazardous‑materials routing and permitting.
• Familiarity with AI‑driven route optimization tools (e.g., OptimoRoute, Route4Me).
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) to support a diverse driver pool.

Salary Range

$55,000 – $78,000 USD per year, commensurate with experience, certifications, and performance bonuses. The package includes a quarterly safety incentive and an annual profit‑sharing distribution.

Benefits

• 100 % remote work – no commute, no truck cab required.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans effective day 1.
• 401(k) with 4 % company match.
• Generous paid time off (15 days PTO + 10 holidays) plus a “Wellness Week” each year.
• Home‑office stipend ($1,200 annually) for ergonomic equipment and high‑speed internet.
• Continuous learning budget ($2,000/year) for certifications, conferences, or coursework.
• Employee assistance program (EAP) and mental‑health resources.

Company Culture

Our logistics division operates on a “trust‑but‑verify” philosophy: we empower you with autonomy, provide real‑time data transparency, and celebrate outcomes over hours logged. Weekly virtual huddles keep the team aligned, while a dedicated Slack channel fuels peer‑to‑peer knowledge sharing. Diversity, safety, and continuous improvement are core values that guide every decision—from route design to driver wellness.

How to Succeed in This Remote Role

Success hinges on proactive communication, data‑driven decision making, and a relentless focus on compliance. Set up automated alerts for ELD violations, build template responses for common driver inquiries, and schedule a daily 15‑minute “route review” with the operations lead. By treating the digital dashboard as your virtual cab, you’ll keep the fleet moving safely, efficiently, and profitably—all from the comfort of your home office.
