Most first jobs keep a new driver out for weeks. With American Driver, Class A drivers in Springfield, Chatham, Rochester and Sherman can run a Midwest regional fleet that brings them home for a 34-hour reset. Loads usually keep you a day or less from home, and training is paid.
What a week looks like
Your schedule rotates. It can be Sunday to Thursday or Tuesday to Saturday, with day and night driving. You run 1,700 to 2,400 miles across the central U.S.: Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky. Some loads go west to Kansas, east into Pennsylvania, north to Minnesota, and once in a while south to Georgia. Then you go home for your 34-hour reset. Weekend work is voluntary.
