About this job

Our company is hiring CDL-A drivers near West Monroe, LA for OTR runs. You get your own assigned truck (no slip seating) and haul 100% no-touch dry van freight. Both brand-new CDL-A holders and experienced drivers can apply.

Pay

  • Once you're running solo, expect $1,400 to $1,600 gross per week on average
  • The top 25% of drivers bring home up to $1,800 gross weekly
  • Your pay is based on CPM, miles run, and how you perform
  • You're paid every week by direct deposit

Equipment and freight

  • You'll drive a 2024 or newer Kenworth T680 or Freightliner Cascadia, both automatics
  • The truck is yours alone, not shared with other drivers
  • Take it home on your days off
  • All freight is dry van and 100% no-touch

Schedule

  • Runs are 14 days out, followed by 2 full days at home

Training and experience

  • If you're new to CDL-A, you'll go through a 3 to 5 week mentorship (roughly 200 to 250 hands-on hours) with guaranteed weekly pay during that time
  • You'll also get $300 for orientation, with transportation to get there covered
  • Already experienced? You can go straight into solo driving once you meet the requirements
  • New drivers need 120+ hours of training from an accredited CDL school and must finish the company's training program
  • Experienced drivers need at least 6 months of verifiable solo driving experience; time spent training under a mentor doesn't count toward this

Requirements

  • At least 21 years old
  • Valid Class A CDL
  • Current DOT medical card
  • A clean driving record and solid work history
  • Able to pass a DOT drug screen and background check
  • Must meet all other DOT and company standards

Benefits

  • Medical, dental and vision coverage
  • 401(k)
  • Paid time off
  • Weekly pay by direct deposit

The hiring carrier's name is shared with you once you apply through the DriverRoll app, where you can message them directly.
