What type of freight does Paragon Freight haul?
We are a dry van carrier. General commodities, consistent freight — no reefer, no flatbed, no hazmat, no LTL.
What are the requirements to drive for Paragon Freight?
You need a valid CDL-A and a minimum of 2 years of verifiable over-the-road experience. No endorsements required. We do not hire recent CDL graduates.
Do you hire drivers with accidents or violations on their record?
It depends on the type, severity, and how recent. We review every record individually. Call us and we will have a straight conversation about your situation.
What does Paragon Freight pay?
Pay is competitive and based on your experience and driving record. We pay weekly via direct deposit. Call us and we will give you a straight number — no bait-and-switch after orientation.
How many miles will I run?
It depends on your home location, the account, and whether you run solo or team. We will give you a real number on the application call — not an inflated one to get you in the door.
What do owner-operators gross at Paragon Freight?
It depends on miles, fuel, and how you run. We will walk you through honest numbers during the conversation — not a figure designed to look good on paper.
How long are drivers out on the road?
Standard OTR rotations are 2 to 3 weeks out. Owner-operators generally have more scheduling flexibility. Home time is discussed during the application process.
Can I take the truck home?
Yes, as long as you have a safe and legal place to park it. For extended time off, we ask that the truck return to our yard.
Will I have to load and unload?
No. Paragon runs no-touch freight. Loading and unloading is handled at the dock.

Yes. We run dedicated dry van freight with consistent accounts. Lane details are discussed during the application process.
Are local or regional positions available?
Yes, we have local and regional opportunities in select areas. Availability depends on current openings — contact us directly to find out what is available in your area.

Late-model trucks, fully maintained and regularly refreshed. Every truck comes standard with automatic transmission, inverter, refrigerator, and microwave.
Does Paragon Freight offer 24/7 driver support?
Yes. Dispatch and driver support are available around the clock. You will not be left stranded with no one to call.
Does Paragon Freight have a driver referral program?
Yes. Refer a qualified CDL-A driver who joins and stays, and you get paid. Bonuses are paid in two installments tied to tenure milestones. There is no cap on referrals.
What does the application process look like?
Apply online or call us directly. We review your MVR and PSP, have a brief phone conversation, and walk you through orientation. No unnecessary steps.
Is Paragon Freight a good company for experienced OTR drivers?
Paragon was built by a driver. Our founder ran OTR before starting the company, and the operation reflects that — honest pay, no-touch freight, late-model equipment, and a team that is reachable when you need them.
