Entry Level CDL-A Driver
About The Position
This entry-level CDL-A driving role provides 4 to 6 weeks of on-road training with an experienced driver trainer, paying $850 per week during training. After the trainer signs off, drivers receive their own truck and are guaranteed $1,000 per week for the first 3 months of solo driving.

Routes are home every two weeks and average about 2,500 miles per week, mostly drop and hook. Average weekly gross pay is $1,200 to $1,500. Starting pay is $0.55 per mile, with an additional $0.01 per mile for each year of experience, up to $0.65 per mile, plus $15 stop pay and a performance bonus plan. Medical, dental, and vision coverage are available after 30 days. The position also offers a 401(k) with company match and paid time off. Orientation pay is $300, and travel to orientation is covered. Riders and pets are allowed after training is complete.
