CDL A Experienced (Min 6 Months) Truck Driving Position!
About The Position
This position is for a CDL A truck driver on an experienced OTR account. Drivers are responsible for safely and timely transporting loads while complying with safety regulations and company policies. OTR drivers typically travel 3–4 weeks at a time and receive one day off for every six days out, up to four days per month. The account averages 2,600–2,800 miles weekly, with an average haul length of 750 miles and average gross weekly pay of $1,200–$1,400. Freight includes refrigerated, no-touch loads, with drop-and-hook on 50% of loads. Drivers with at least six months of experience start at $0.60 per mile, with additional pay for qualifying home time: $50 per day, up to four eligible days per month. Drivers with less experience may qualify for training after completing a CDL school program of at least 120 hours within the past six months. Training is typically four weeks and pays $100 per day, up to $700 per week, while the student is on the truck with a qualified trainer; days at home are unpaid unless otherwise approved by management.

Trucks are rated at 65 MPH, and the role does not involve slip seating.
