About this job
New CDL-A holder with no road experience? This regional fleet based in Virginia puts new drivers through paid on-truck training, hauling dry van freight across 27 states with no runs into New England or New York. Norfolk-area drivers can get started here.
How training works

- Once your trainer clears you, you move into your own truck at full pay
- Your first 3 months running solo come with a $1,000 per week guarantee
The freight and routes
- Dry van loads across 27 states, everything east of Colorado, excluding New England
- Weekly mileage runs 1,800 to 2,800 miles
- You're home every 2 to 3 weeks
- Short runs pay a flat $100
Pay details

Benefits

Two paths in
