About this job

Our company is looking for newly licensed CDL-A drivers to join a paid trainee program in Fernley, NV. You'll spend four weeks working one-on-one with a mentor before moving into solo regional driving, with a possible shift to dedicated or regional lanes around the nine-month mark.

Training

  • Four-week, one-on-one paid mentorship covering trip planning, safe driving, hours-of-service rules, time management and customer service
  • Progress checkpoints along the way, with recognition for standout trainees
  • Once you move to solo status, you're assigned a late-model tractor equipped with current technology

Pay

  • After you upgrade to solo, pay is $0.55 per loaded mile
  • Typical weekly mileage runs around 2,500 miles, translating to roughly $1,375 to $1,550 per week
  • Mileage rate steps up at the 3, 6 and 12 month marks after training ends
  • Safety and performance bonuses available
  • $1,000 sign-on bonus paid out after you upgrade to solo
  • $500 bonus at 90 days post-upgrade
  • CDL school tuition reimbursement up to $5,000 for those who qualify

Home time

Lane assignments and time at home depend on the account and current business needs; both regional and dedicated lanes are available to trainees and graduates.

Requirements

  • Current Class A CDL
  • No over-the-road experience needed — this program is built for recent grads
  • Clean driving record and ability to meet DOT qualifications
  • Must pass background and Clearinghouse screening
  • Ready to learn, follow safety rules and act professionally on the road

Benefits

  • Medical, dental and vision coverage starting your first day
  • Paid vacation and other time off
  • 401(k) with a company match
  • Recognition and incentive programs for strong performance
  • Rider and pet policy becomes available after six months on the job
