You have your Class A CDL you are looking for work but without any OTR experience no one will hire you?  We are willing to give you that opportunity.  

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 after 30 days we do offer other positions once you get your foot in the door.   We offer OTR Regional and Local positions. 

At this time we are needing to hire 23 positions for entry level drivers with little or no OTR experience, like yourself. These positions offer great pay, excellent benefits and many home time options.  Once you completed training you will be expected to run OTR getting home every 10-14 days.  Many openings are regional as well getting home more often.

There are no contracts to sign.  You're free to change positions when openings come available. 

Presently 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 currently offer CDL Academy tuition reimbursement available for those who paid out of pocket to go to school. Up to $1,000 to help payback your tuition.
