CDL-A Trainee Driver - Paid Mentorship Program

$67.6k - $80.6k
Full-time

American Driver

Just graduated CDL school and having trouble getting hired? We will put you in a truck.

Most carriers demand 1–2 years of experience before they even look at your application. We take a different approach: if you completed your training and hold a valid CDL-A, our Paid Mentor Program will bridge the gap between school and a confident solo career.

No fine print, no unpaid waiting periods, and no physical freight loading.

THE TRAINING PROGRAM

  • 4 to 6 Weeks Paid Mentorship: Learn real-world OTR driving with an experienced mentor
  • Guaranteed Pay: You get paid every single week during training—no low mileage penalties or surprise deductions.
  • Instant Progression: Transition directly to full solo pay rates the moment you complete the program.
  • $300 Paid Orientation: We provide your hotel room and cover transportation to get you started.

PAY & FULL BENEFITS

  • $1,300 to $1,550 average weekly earnings once going solo (top performers clear $1,800+).
  • Benefits after 30 days: Full Medical, Dental, Vision, and Prescription coverage.
  • 401(k) with Company Match + Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).
  • PTO: Paid time off starts accruing on your very first day.
  • Company-paid Life and Disability Insurance.

EQUIPMENT & FREIGHT

  • Assigned Equipment: 2022 or newer Kenworth or Freightliner (automatic, equipped with APU).
  • No Slip-Seating: Once assigned, the truck is yours—you don't move your gear every week.
  • 100% No-Touch Freight: Dry van loads, approximately 70% drop-and-hook.
  • 2,200 to 2,800 miles per week average across East of I-35 lanes.

SCHEDULE

  • 12 Days Out / 2 Days Home: True OTR setup. Stable, predictable home time rotations.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Must be at least 21 years old with a valid Class A CDL and DOT Medical Card.
  • Graduated from an accredited CDL school (120+ hours) OR have under 6 months of recent OTR experience.
  • Clean driving record.
  • Able to pass a standard background check and pre-employment drug screen.

Stop applying to carriers that require years of experience you don't have yet. Apply today —our recruiting team responds within 24 business hours.
