Job Description - CDL-A Truck Driver - First Job After CDL School

Just got your CDL? Most companies want a year of experience. This one doesn't.

You train with a mentor, get paid every week while you learn, and then run your own truck across the South and Midwest. Home every two weeks.

What you'll make

After training, drivers here earn $1,200 to $1,800 a week. The first 3 months solo come with a $1,000 weekly guarantee. On top of mileage pay you get a performance bonus, $15 per stop, and $75 plus mileage on short loads.

Where you'll go

Everything east of Denver, except the Northeast and New England. Typical weeks run 1,800 to 2,900 miles. Freight is dry van, a mix of drop and hook, preloads and live work.

Training, step by step

  1. A recruiter calls you and reviews your license and record.
  2. You go to orientation.
  3. You spend 3 to 5 weeks (200 to 250 hours) on the road with a mentor. You're paid weekly.
