About this job

New to truck driving but hold your CDL-A? Our company in Eureka, CA will train you on real loads and put you on a western regional fleet with short runs, usually no more than 2 days from home.

How training works

  • You ride along with an experienced driver trainer, running actual freight
  • You're paid $680 per week while training
  • Once your trainer signs off, you move into your own truck at full pay
  • Your first 3 months of solo driving come with a guaranteed $1,000 per week

What you'll haul

  • Dry van freight across the 11 western states
  • 1,700 to 2,100 miles per week
  • Home every 2 weeks
  • You can opt to run beyond the western states for more miles

Pay

  • Weekly earnings typically run $1,000 to $1,300
  • Mileage pay follows a standard scale that increases with experience
  • Performance bonus of up to 6 cents per mile
  • $15 stop pay
  • $300 orientation pay, plus your travel to orientation is covered

Benefits

  • Medical, dental and vision coverage starting after 30 days
  • 401k with company match
  • Paid time off

Requirements

Two paths in:

  • New CDL-A holders: at least 120 hours of training from an accredited CDL school, then paid training with a trainer
  • Experienced drivers: 6 months of OTR driving in the past 12 months, or 12 months in the past 5 years, qualifies you to skip training and start in your own truck right away

Everyone needs:

  • A Class A CDL and be at least 21 years old
  • No more than 2 moving violations in the past 2 years
  • Ability to pass a DOT physical and drug screen
