Rouse Trucking - Detroit, MI 48201 | $1,325 - $1,475 per week
You know what's refreshing? A trucking company that doesn't oversell and under-deliver to commercial drivers. Rouse Trucking has been around for over 90 years, and we're still here because we do what we say we're going to do for CDL-A professionals.

Park your assigned truck and trailer at your domicile for convenient weekend breaks
The equipment situation is straightforward for Class-A drivers. We buy new Freightliner Cascadias every year - 2021 through 2024 models in the fleet right now. Double bunks, SiriusXM radio, 24-inch TV, refrigerator, and battery-powered APUs that actually work when commercial drivers need them. Every truck has a 1,500-watt inverter, so you can power whatever you need during your area driving.
Freight is designed to make sense for CDL A operators. Average haul distance is 250 miles on regional territory, which keeps you moving without burning you out. About 50-60% of the loads are drop-hook operations, so you're not wasting time at shipping docks. We plan trips at 45 MPH, giving you realistic delivery schedules even when traffic gets heavy on area routes.
Here's something different: we have a $1,200 per week minimum for Class A drivers. Not some complicated formula with impossible requirements. Accept available freight, follow your schedule, work the hours - that's it. Most CDL-A professionals average $1,325-$1,475 weekly because the regional miles are consistent.
Benefits are competitive without being complicated for area drivers. Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance, Delta Dental coverage, and 401K with company matching after 60 days. Pay comes every Friday by direct deposit - no delays, no excuses. Vacation time increases with your years of service, plus guaranteed off Saturday-Sunday.
We operate 350 trucks across the Northeast and Midwest network, which gives us the perfect balance. Big enough that we have consistent non-handling freight for CDL A drivers, small enough that Class-A professionals aren't just another number.
