Launch Your CDL Career – Paid OTR Training for New Class A Drivers

If you recently completed CDL school and are searching for a company that gives new drivers a true opportunity to succeed, we are currently hiring entry‑level Class A CDL drivers for over‑the‑road training positions. This is a great chance to gain valuable experience, work with newer equipment, and build a long‑term career in the trucking industry.

What New Drivers Can Expect
  • Begin with a paid 4‑week over‑the‑road training program alongside a professional driver trainer.
  • Earn $650 weekly while learning essential skills including trip management, backing techniques, DOT safety procedures, customer interaction, and real‑world freight operations.
  • Prepare to stay out continuously during the initial training phase without scheduled home time, similar to basic training in the military.
  • Opportunities After Completing Training

    Once training is successfully completed, drivers will review available openings with terminal leadership. Most new drivers transition into Regional or OTR routes offering home time approximately every 5 to 14 days. Depending on freight needs and availability, some dedicated positions with more regular home time may also be offered. Local driving opportunities may become available later as experience is gained.

    Available Freight Divisions
    • Dry Van
    • Refrigerated Freight
    • Flatbed

    Drivers interested in flatbed can attend a complimentary 5‑day flatbed securement course. There are no training contracts required, and drivers may request transfers between divisions when openings exist.

    Compensation & Benefits

    After training, many drivers average between $1,300 and $1,600+ weekly based on freight division and route assignment.

    Benefits begin after 30 days and include:

    • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
    • 401(k) retirement program
    • Paid vacation and disability benefits
    • $10,000 company‑paid life insurance
    • Tuition reimbursement up to $1,000 for self‑funded CDL schooling
    • Free online college tuition through SNHU for the driver and one qualifying family member
    Minimum Hiring Requirements
    • A valid Class A CDL
    • Current DOT medical certification
    • Graduation from an accredited 120‑hour CDL program within the last 24 months
    • Minimum age of 21 years old
    • Ability to pass DOT drug testing including hair and urine screening
    • Acceptable background and employment verification

      Accident history for the previous 5 years and moving violations for the last 3 years

    Orientation & Next Steps

    After applying, qualified applicants will receive a phone interview with recruiting. Drivers selected to continue will complete the application and orientation process. Transportation assistance is available through bus travel or approved mileage reimbursement, and meals are provided during orientation.
