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 Charlotte, North Carolina.

This is a full-time Flatbed driving position paying $58,500 - $82,500/year depending on experience, lane, and safety record. Home time: Out 1–2 weeks.

Pay context for North Carolina: the statewide CDL-A average is $56,800, and the strongest-paying metros are Charlotte (about $62,400), Raleigh (about $59,800), Greensboro (about $57,200). North Carolina sits below the national cost-of-living average (index 94), so pay stretches further here — adjusted for living costs the equivalent is roughly $60,426. Wage trend is currently rising — North Carolina trucking pay is rising as the Charlotte metro booms with distribution center growth and the Piedmont Triad (Greensboro-Winston Salem-High Point) maintains its position as a logistics corridor.
