How much do regional truck drivers make in Georgia?

Most regional driving positions based in Georgia offer weekly home time, with many carriers guaranteeing at least 34 hours off each week. Some premium regional accounts get drivers home every weekend. The frequency depends on the carrier, account, and your home terminal location relative to the regional freight lanes.
