CDL-A OTR Truck Driver, Amazon Relay Contract Lanes
ConfidentialPay 22% to 25% of gross revenue, including fuel surcharge and all accessorials (detention, layover, TONU), paid weekly by direct deposit. Base is 22%; any week your own loads run defect-free pays 25%. Typical contract weeks run $1,400 to $1,700. Guaranteed minimum of $1,000 for any week you are available and the truck is not earning. Schedule OTR. Contract terms of 4 to 10 weeks at a single Amazon domicile, then home time between terms. Night and weekend blocks are part of the work. About the job Pragmatik Trucking Solutions is a small, owner-run carrier based in the Charlotte area. We run dedicated Amazon Relay contract lanes, which means your week is planned before it starts: a fixed domicile, a set number of blocks, drop-and-hook freight, no live loading, and no fighting the load board. We hold an A+ Relay performance score and intend to keep it, which is why we are hiring experienced drivers rather than filling seats, and why we pay more for clean weeks. Contract domiciles are chosen together. Before each term we review the contracts on the Relay board with you and pick the destination based on the payout, so you see what the truck will earn before you commit to the weeks. Because you are paid a percentage, the best-paying contract on the board is the best-paying contract for you. You will be the only driver in your truck. You will be assigned a late-model sleeper tractor with an automated transmission, a full-size raised-roof sleeper, and a working APU, covered by an extended protection plan, so breakdown risk is low and repairs do not come out of your pocket. What you will do Run Amazon Relay contract blocks (13-hour and 37-hour solo blocks) out of an assigned domicile for the length of each contract term, typically 4 to 10 weeks. Reposition between domiciles on paid load-board tours when a term ends. Use the Relay driver app for check-in, trailer swaps, and trip updates, and screenshot the app whenever something looks wrong. Complete pre-trip and post-trip inspections and report defects the same day. Keep ELD logs clean and communicate early about delays, facility issues, or cancellations so we can file disputes on time. What we need from you Valid Class A CDL with at least 2 years of verifiable OTR tractor-trailer experience in the last 3 years. Age 23 or older. Clean record: no more than 2 moving violations in the past 3 years, no preventable DOT-recordable accidents in the past 3 years, no DUI or reckless driving in the past 5 years, no serious violations. Clear FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse query, current DOT medical card, and ability to pass a pre-employment drug screen. Comfortable being out 4 to 10 weeks at a time and living in the truck. Smartphone with data for the Relay app. Prior Amazon Relay experience is a plus but not required. Experience with automated transmissions and drop-and-hook freight is helpful. What you get Percentage of gross revenue, including fuel surcharge and accessorials, with full transparency: you see the rate on every load and block in the Relay app, and you are paid on it. A performance bonus you control: 25% instead of 22% every week your own loads run defect-free (on time at every stop, no rejections, no tracking gaps). Defects caused by Amazon and reversed on dispute do not count against you. A $1,000 weekly floor when you are available and the freight is not there, so a slow week does not empty your account. A say in where you run: contract destinations are discussed with you and chosen on payout. Steady contract miles instead of load-board uncertainty. A well-maintained truck with an APU, so you are not idling to sleep. Direct access to the owner. No dispatch queue, no fleet manager between you and the person who makes decisions. Weekly pay by direct deposit, no pay cards, no fees. Fuel card provided. Tolls, scales, and permits paid by the company.
