CDL-A Trainee

New to the industry? American Driver is putting entry level Class A drivers through real, paid training in Michigan — no shortcuts, no guesswork, just a clear path from student to professional driver.

• $900/week during training
• $0.56 per mile once you're solo, with a $1,000/week minimum guaranteed for your first 3 months
• Pay grows to $0.56–$0.64 per mile after that, averaging $1,200 to $1,700/week

You’ll spend 4 to 6 weeks with a dedicated trainer, running real freight on real routes the entire time. Your trainer evaluates your progress along the way, and you only go solo once you’re ready — not on a fixed schedule.

During training you’ll cover:

• Class A tractor‑trailer operation on actual routes
• ELD systems and hours‑of‑service compliance
• Pre‑trip and post‑trip inspection procedures
• Dispatch communication and company protocol

• Regional dry van freight
• Weekly home time
• Full compliance with DOT regulations
• Accurate, up‑to‑date ELD logs and DVIRs
• Complete equipment inspections before and after every shift
• Clear, professional contact with dispatch

• Valid Class A CDL
• 21 years of age or older
• 120+ hours from an accredited CDL school
• Clean driving record
• Must pass DOT physical and pre‑employment drug screen
