Dedicated to success: 5 positives to consider
In an industry filled with job variety, dedicated offers unique advantages:
Experience job stability in a high-demand field
Trucks move more than 70% of America’s freight, illustrating how critical trucking is to the economy. Goods will always need to be transported nationwide, requiring skilled professional drivers.
Companies of all sizes — from various sectors — rely on dedicated transportation solutions for safe and prompt delivery. That translates into ample opportunities for dedicated drivers to enjoy productive, long-term employment.
Work where you feel comfortable
The average dedicated driver covers 2,000-2,400 miles per week, depending on the route, traffic, and weather conditions. Some drivers can reach 3,000 miles per week if they choose to stay out longer.
ArcBest® Dedicated drivers run within a region with many dedicated customers, allowing for operation within the same areas. You’ll quickly get to know the lay of the land — including the most common stops, shippers and receivers.
Along with this helping to build a level of comfort, you’re also less likely to be surprised by potential hazards like roadwork or heavy traffic, which can improve safety and efficiency.
Run consistently and earn steady pay
Because dedicated drivers work out of the same facilities, there is less concern about finding the next load. With several loads usually planned, you can keep rolling instead of sitting idle. And with a reliable schedule that produces a predictable weekly settlement, you can avoid income dips and budget more effectively.
Create a schedule that makes sense for your life
A more consistent schedule helps you achieve a healthy work-life balance, reduced stress, and greater overall satisfaction. The ideal schedule will differ depending on the driver. Maybe you want to stay out for weeks at a time to earn more money. Or, to spend more time with family and friends, you might prefer to be home most weekends. Driving dedicated offers the flexibility to choose what works best for you and your drivers!
