About this job

Our company is looking for newly licensed CDL-A graduates to join its regional dry van fleet. You'll start with paid training, then move into a late-model assigned tractor running consistent regional routes with weekly home time.

Pay

  • Training pay is $850 per week, lasting about 3 to 5 weeks
  • Paid orientation included
  • After training, expected earnings are $1,600-$1,800 per week
  • Direct deposit lands every Friday
  • Extra bonus opportunities for safety and performance

Home time

You'll be on a regional schedule that brings you home every week, not out for weeks at a stretch.

What you'll haul

Mostly no-touch dry van freight, with a large portion being drop and hook. You'll be assigned a 2024 or 2025 Freightliner or Kenworth.

  • Hold a valid Class A CDL
  • Have completed ELDT through an FMCSA-registered provider
  • At least 120 hours of CDL instruction
  • A clean driving record
