We are a CDL driver recruiting agency placing qualified drivers with vetted, well-established carriers across the United States — and we have immediate openings for drivers domiciled in and around Hartford, Connecticut.

This is a full-time Box Truck driving position paying $49,000 - $69,000/year depending on experience, lane, and safety record. Home time: Home daily. We work with multiple client carriers, so once you apply our recruiters match you to the opening that best fits your home-time, pay, and equipment preferences — there is no cost to you, ever.

Pay context for Connecticut: the statewide CDL-A average is $63,200, and the strongest-paying metros are Hartford (about $66,800), New Haven (about $65,400), Bridgeport (about $64,200). Connecticut runs above the national cost-of-living average (index 121), so the headline number buys less than it does in a cheaper state — adjusted for living costs it works out closer to $52,231. Wage trend is currently stable — Connecticut trucking wages are steady, supported by proximity to New York City freight markets and the I-95 corridor. The state's small size favors regional and local driving positions.

This is city and metro work, so the numbers that matter are 55 mph in urban areas and tolls: No tolls currently (tolls removed from Connecticut Turnpike in 1985). Truck toll proposals have been debated in legislature.

Winter operating requirement: No mandatory chain law. Chains or cable chains permitted during winter storms.

Fuel tax in Connecticut is $0.491 per gallon diesel (among highest in US) + federal, which matters if you are comparing per-mile offers across state lines. Inspection climate: Moderate. CT State Police focus on I-95 corridor, I-91, and I-84 interchange areas. Targeted enforcement during CVSA events.

How it works: apply with the quick form below (under 60 seconds, no resume needed), one of our recruiters calls you to confirm your experience and what you're looking for, and we set up interviews with the carriers that match. You choose the offer that's right for you.

We require a minimum of 12 months of verifiable CDL-B driving experience for this role. If you have at least one year behind the wheel and a clean record, we want to talk to you.
