About this job

Our company is looking for new and recent CDL-A grads in the Marrero, Westwego, Harvey and Gretna area for an OTR position. You run freight east of Denver, skip the Northeast, and train with a mentor before going solo.

Pay

  • Paid weekly, including during training
  • Guaranteed minimum of $1,000 a week for your first 3 months as a solo driver
  • $1,200 to $1,800 a week once you're solo and past that period
  • $15 for each stop
  • Weekly direct deposit
  • $300 bonus once you're hired, paid after orientation

Routes and freight

  • OTR lanes covering everything east of Denver, with no runs into the Northeast
  • Mix of drop and hook, live loading and unloading, and preloads
  • 1,800 to 2,900 miles per week
  • About two weeks out, then home; dispatch is reachable around the clock

Training path

  • A call upfront to review your license and driving record together, so there are no surprises later
  • Orientation lasts up to 2 days, with your hotel covered and bus fare reimbursed
  • 4 to 6 weeks of paid, one-on-one training with a mentor before you drive solo
  • Once solo, you get your own truck from a fleet that averages about 1.5 years old

Requirements

  • At least 21 years old with a Class A CDL
  • New drivers need 120+ hours of CDL school; otherwise 6 months of recent driving experience
  • Up to 2 moving violations allowed in the last 2 years, no DUI or DWI within the last 10 years
  • Must pass a DOT physical along with a hair and urine drug screen

Benefits

After your first 30 days, you're eligible for full medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage, a 401(k), an employee stock purchase plan, paid vacation and annual raises. The company also offers a free online degree for you and one family member. Pets and riders are welcome, and trainees can bring a dog once training wraps up.

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