We're hiring newly licensed CDL-A drivers in Richland, Florence and Rankin County for an OTR dry van seat. You make $650 a week while you train. Solo pay averages $1,200 to $1,800 a week, and you're home every other week.

Not every seat fits every driver. Read the two lists and decide.

This seat fits you if:

You have your Class A and need someone to give you the first shot
You want to be paid while you learn
You're OK being out for two weeks and then home
You want a truck that's yours, not shared
You want 1,800 to 2,900 miles a week once you're solo

This seat isn't for you if:

You need to be home every night
You're not willing to work some weekends
You want Northeast runs. These loads stay from Denver east, outside the Northeast.

If it fits, here's what you get

3 to 5 weeks (200–250 hours) of mentor training at $650 a week
A $1,000 weekly guarantee for your first 3 solo months
$1,200–$1,800 average weekly pay after that
$15 per extra stop, $75 plus miles on short hauls
A monthly performance bonus
$300 for orientation (two days or less, hotel covered, bus fare reimbursed)
An assigned truck, about 1.5 years old on average

Freight is dry van, a mix of drop and hook, preloads and live loads. Holiday runs are voluntary.

After 30 days:

medical, dental, vision and prescriptions, a 401(k), stock purchase, employee assistance and a free online degree for you plus one dependent. Riders allowed. One dog under 40 lbs once training ends.

You'll need:

to be 21+ with a CDL-A, a new grad or 6 months of recent experience, no more than 2 moving violations in 2 years, no DUI/DWI in 10 years, and a passed DOT physical and hair/urine screen.
