Job Description

Location: Springfield, Illinois. 365 Freight USA offers a paid CDL‑A trainee program in Springfield for recent graduates seeking structured on‑the‑job experience under the guidance of an experienced mentor. The program provides paid training, a clear path to solo status, and a competitive compensation package upon upgrade.

Compensation and training

  • 4‑week paid mentorship: Paid, one‑on‑one training with an experienced mentor.
  • Solo pay after upgrade: $0.55 per mile. Typical weekly mileage averages 2,500 miles (approximately $1,375–$1,550 per week), plus safety and performance bonuses.

  • Tuition reimbursement up to $5,000 for CDL school (terms and eligibility apply).

Program highlights

  • Structured one‑on‑one training curriculum covering trip planning, safe vehicle operation, hours‑of‑service compliance, time management, and customer service.
  • Assignment of a late‑model, technology‑enabled tractor following solo upgrade to support safety and driver comfort.
  • Mentor program with formal evaluation milestones and recognition for top performers.
  • Options to transfer to dedicated or regional lanes within approximately nine months, subject to performance and business needs.
  • Rider and pet policy available after six months of service, subject to company policy.

Primary responsibilities

  • Operate commercial motor vehicles safely and in accordance with assigned routes and schedules.
  • Complete pre‑trip and post‑trip vehicle inspections and required driver logs accurately.
  • Adhere to DOT regulations, company policies, and hours‑of‑service requirements.
  • Follow mentor instruction during the training period and demonstrate progressive proficiency to qualify for solo operations.
  • Maintain professional communication with dispatch, customers, and company personnel.
