Did you just get your Class A CDL? Are you struggling to find a company that will give you a chance? We understand how difficult it can be to get started in this industry without prior experience—and we're here to help.
 
If you have your Class A license, you can get started with us with no prior experience. This is an entry-level position designed for recent graduates (within the last two years) of a CDL training program (at least 120 hours) who are ready to begin their Over-The-Road (OTR) career. 

We are offering:
  • Immediate openings: 23 positions available.
  • Weekly pay during training: $650 per week for the first 30 days.
  • Weekly pay after training: $1,200 to $1,600+ per week (depending on route).
  • Comprehensive benefits (after 30 days): Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and paid vacation.
  • Company-paid life insurance: $10,000.
  • Disability insurance.
  • Flexible home time: OTR, regional, or dedicated runs.
  • CDL tuition reimbursement: Up to $1,000 if you paid for your own schooling.
  • Free college tuition: Available for you or one immediate family member.
  • Newer equipment: Well-maintained Freightliners with mostly automatic transmissions. 
What you can expect:
  • A straightforward and fast hiring process.
  • High-quality training with professional, experienced trainers.
  • Hands-on driving experience to build your skills and confidence.
  • Opportunities in various divisions: Dry van, reefer, and flatbed.
  • A strong foundation to build your OTR resume, even if you start regionally or on dedicated routes. 
Orientation and Training Process:
  • Submit your application. We will contact you for a short phone interview.
  • We will guide you through the initial paperwork and online application.
  • Your application will be reviewed by a Class A hiring specialist.
  • Upon approval, you will attend a 1 1/2-day orientation.
  • After orientation, you will begin 4 weeks of on-the-road training ($650/week). You will not be home during this time.
  • Following training, you will take a 2–5 day break at home.
  • After your break, you will meet with your fleet manager to select your route and start as a full-time solo driver. 
Requirements:
  • You must be at least 21 years old.
  • Currently hold a valid Class A CDL and a current DOT physical.
  • Recently graduated from a 120-hour CDL training academy within the past 2 years. A copy of your completion certificate is required.
