Pick the schedule that fits your life: more days off in a row, or more days on the clock to earn more. Plus, once you're in, a driver-to-driver swap system lets you trade schedules with someone else for a season when your needs change. We're 121 Partners, a new Amazon Freight Partner in Chattanooga, building our founding driver team now for regional routes starting in late August 2026. Every schedule we offer is built around one goal: Safe. On Time. Home.

We're hiring now for routes starting in late August 2026.

Choose your schedule:

Solo2 - 4 days on, 4 days off:

• Off about half the year

• Only two nights in the sleeper per 8-day cycle. You're home the other nights you work.

• Home every other night on the days you work, then four days off in a row

• Your schedule is set by mid-week, so you know your week before it starts

Solo5 - 5 days on, 2 days off:

• More days on per cycle means more nights out, but also more hours and more earning potential at the same base pay and bonus structure as Solo2

• Two full days off every week

Daily/Flex - limited availability:

• A small number of daily and flex routes are also available for drivers who want a different rhythm than Solo2 or Solo5

Want to switch it up for a season? Once you're driving, our driver swap system lets Solo2 and Solo5 drivers post, browse, and request seasonal swaps with each other - say, a Solo5 driver who wants more time at home trades with a Solo2 driver who wants to earn more for a stretch. A swap only happens when another driver is willing to make the matching trade, so it's not guaranteed or on-demand, but it's there when a match comes together.

What you'll do:

• Regional round-trip routes out of the greater Chattanooga area, hauling Amazon freight.

• Drop and hook, no-touch freight. No loading, unloading, pallet jacks, tarps, straps, HAZMAT, or doubles.

• Late-model branded sleeper cabs with a real bunk

• Company-provided device, so work stays off your personal phone

• HOS compliant every run

Pay, built as a stack:

• $23 per hour base rate, paid weekly, W-2 - the same rate for Solo2 and Solo5

• Overtime on your heavier weeks. On Solo2, weeks alternate: a lighter week around 40 hours is eligible to earn about $940 gross, and a heavier week with overtime about $1,400 gross. Solo5 runs more days per cycle but isn't eligible for overtime - Solo2 is. Because of those extra days, Solo5 weekly gross still trends higher and more consistently, on base rate plus bonuses - typically in the $1,550 to $1,700 gross range depending on bonuses.

• Up to $300 per month in performance bonuses: on-time departure, on-time arrival, and safety score, up to $100 each - the building blocks behind our Safe. On Time. Home. promise

• You may be eligible for a $500 bonus after you work your 90th day

• $200 referral bonus, open to anyone

• Based on this pay structure, and assuming you work full shifts/hours per year: Solo2 drivers can potentially earn roughly $61,000 to $64,000+ gross per year; Solo5 drivers, running more days per cycle but not eligible for overtime under the Motor Carrier Exemption (MCE), can potentially earn roughly $84,000+ gross per year. Actual earnings vary by hours and routes assigned.

What we cover on the road:

• Fuel, tolls, your company device and data

Benefits:

All eligible employees are offered the following benefits.

• W-2 employment, payroll taxes withheld, no 1099

• Health, dental, and vision insurance for eligible employees

• Paid time off, about 12 days a year to start based on typical hours

• Year-round freight. Our contract runs 52 weeks a year.

Equipment and safety support:

• Late-model branded sleeper cabs, serviced on schedule with issues handled fast

• Netradyne in-cab alerts for following distance, lane discipline, fatigue, and distraction. It also protects you if another driver files a false claim.

• Company-issued

This job isn't for everyone, and we'd rather be upfront. This might not be your seat if you:

• Prefer driving without safety monitoring or GPS during shifts

• Cut corners on hours of service. We track and report HOS every run.

• Need specific holidays guaranteed off. Your off-blocks rotate year-round, and we can't guarantee the days right before or after major holidays.

• Have a complicated driving record. MVR and background standards are strict and non-negotiable.

• Need to smoke or vape in the cab.

• Want to bring a passenger.

If you show up consistently, drive safely, and want that to show up in your paycheck, this seat was built for you.

What you'll need:

• Valid Class A CDL, 3+ months tractor-trailer experience preferred, open to discussing other backgrounds

• At least 21 years old

• Meet eligibility requirements in MVRC (motor vehicle records check)

• Current DOT medical certificate, and able to pass a DOT physical and pre-employment drug screen

• Able to read and speak English well enough to converse with the public, understand highway traffic signs and signals, respond to official inquiries, and make entries on reports and records

• Comfortable using a company-provided phone and range of digital applications for dispatch communication, DVIRs, HOS logging, navigation, and yard access.

Refer a driver for a $200 bonus: If you know a qualified CDL driver, have them apply and enter your email in the referral field. When they clear 90 days of active employment in good standing, you get a $200 gift card. No limit, open to anyone.
