CDL-A Reefer Truck Driver - Home Every 2 Weeks - Paid Training
About The Position
Drive a refrigerated fleet based out of the Atlanta area, hauling temperature-controlled freight about 2,100 miles per week. Drivers earn $0.50 to $0.74 per mile based on verifiable experience, or about $1,200 per week. Solo drivers receive a $1,000 weekly minimum during their first three months. Pay is issued weekly by direct deposit, with a performance bonus program. Drivers are home every two weeks. Reefer freight operates every day of the year, so weekends and holidays are worked. Most loads involve live loading and unloading; the dock handles unloading, and drivers do not unload freight by hand. New CDL holders train with a mentor for three to five weeks, approximately 200 to 250 hours, and earn $650 per week during training. Drivers with at least six months of recent over-the-road experience may begin solo after orientation. Orientation takes up to two days; the company covers the hotel, reimburses the bus ticket, and pays $300 once the driver is hired. Drivers receive an assigned truck averaging about 1.5 years old. Benefits begin after 30 days and include medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage, a 401(k), an employee stock purchase plan, paid time off, and a free online degree for the driver and one family member. Approved riders and one dog under 40 pounds are allowed after training.
