CDL-A Driver Entry Level - Paid Training, West

Job Description

Job Description

East Valley drivers: western regional runs, never more than three days out, nothing east of the Mississippi.

Fresh out of CDL school? This position takes new drivers, and we will walk you through every step.

On the road

Lanes include the Midwest and the open roads of Texas, but no East Coast.

Weekends are part of the schedule.

Pay and miles

• $850 a week from your first training day
• $1,000 weekly minimum for 3 months once you go solo
• $1,100 to $1,200 average per week
• 2,200 to 2,400 miles weekly
• Home every three weeks
• Monthly performance bonus
• You get paid weekly

Straight answers for new drivers

• "Will I be gone for months?" No. Runs are never more than 3 days and you are home every three weeks.
• "What if my first solo weeks are slow?" You still get at least $1,000 a week for your first 3 months.
• "My school was short. Does it count?" If you have at least 120 hours from a CDL school, you qualify.
• "What if I have a problem on the road?" You are not on your own. Trips are planned for you and your driver leader picks up the phone.

What the first weeks look like

1. A recruiter calls you and reviews your CDL and MVR together with you.
2. You attend orientation (2 days max). The hotel is paid, your one-way bus ticket is reimbursed, and you get $300 for orientation when hired.
3. You spend 4 to 6 weeks driving with a mentor, learning to back, plan trips, keep logs and fuel. That earns you $850 a week.
4. You are assigned your own late-model truck (1.5 years old on average), 10-speed or automatic. For 3 months your weekly pay will not go under $1,000.

To qualify

• Age 21+
• Class A CDL: new grads with at least 120 training hours are welcome, or 6 months of recent experience
• No DUI/DWI in the past 10 years, max 2 moving violations in the past 2 years
• Able to pass a DOT medical exam and a hair and urine drug screen

Benefits after 30 days

• Medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage
• 401(k) and employee stock purchase plan
• Free online college degree for you and one family member
• Paid vacation and yearly raises
• Pet and rider programs (your dog can ride with you once you finish training)
