About this job

Our company is looking for recent CDL-A graduates to join a regional dry van fleet as W-2 drivers. You'll go through paid training before moving into your own assigned late-model tractor, running consistent regional routes with weekly home time.

Pay

  • During the 3 to 5 week paid training period, you'll earn $850 weekly
  • Once training wraps up, pay is expected to land between $1,600 and $1,800 per week
  • Orientation is paid, and direct deposit lands every Friday
  • There are extra bonus opportunities tied to safety and performance

Home time

You'll be on a regular regional schedule that gets you home every week, rather than staying out for extended stretches.

What you'll haul

The work is mostly no-touch dry van freight, with a large portion being drop and hook. Drivers are assigned a 2024 or 2025 Freightliner or Kenworth.

Requirements

  • A valid Class A CDL
  • ELDT completed with an FMCSA-registered training provider, including at least 120 hours of instruction
  • A clean enough driving record to meet company standards
  • Able to pass a DOT physical and pre-employment drug screening
  • Enrolled in the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse
  • Meets all DOT and company hiring requirements

Recent CDL-A graduates and newly licensed drivers are welcome to apply.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Company-paid life and AD&D insurance
  • Policies allowing pets and riders
  • 401(k) with a company match after you're eligible

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