OTR Truck Driver starter position ~ Class A CDL Driver Level 1

Now that you have your Class A CDL you are looking for work but with no OTR experience no one will hire you?  We will.  

This is not a local position.  After your 30 day training you'll come home and choose one of many open positions.  Most are OTR runs.  However we do offer other positions once you get your foot in the door.   

Currently hiring for 17 positions to drivers with little or no OTR experience, like yourself, which features great pay, excellent benefits and many home time options.  After training you will be expected to run OTR getting home every 10-14 days.  Many openings are regional as well getting home more often.

Currently we offer many different division opportunities, such as dry van, reefer, and flatbed.  If you'd like to run flatbed we offer a free 5 day training course to build your resume.  We also offer CDL school tuition reimbursement available for those who paid out of pocket to go to school. Up to $1,000 to help payback your tuition.  

Once you apply today we will get you on the road to a very successful driving career.

The application and hiring process, as well as the job details:

  • When our HR staff receives your application, we will reach out to you and conduct a phone interview to pre-qualify you. After we determine that you qualify, we will then review all of the job details with you and move you forward with the application process.
