Job Description
Job Description
Fresh out of CDL school and ready to start earning? American Driver runs a structured, paid training program built specifically for new drivers — real freight, real mentorship, and a clear pay path from your first week behind the wheel.
PAY STRUCTURE
- Training: $850/week
- Once solo: $0.56/mile, with a $1,000/week minimum guaranteed for your first 3 months
- After 3 months: pay climbs to $0.56–$0.64/mile, averaging $1,200 to $1,700/week
HOW TRAINING WORKS
For 4 to 6 weeks, you're paired with an experienced trainer who rides with you on actual routes — not a classroom, not a simulator. Your trainer tracks your progress and signs off when you're ready to run solo.
What you'll learn:
- Hands-on Class A tractor-trailer operation
- ELD systems and hours-of-service compliance
- Proper pre-trip and post-trip inspections
- How dispatch communication and company procedures work
AFTER TRAINING
- Regional dry van freight
- Weekly home time
- DOT-compliant operation at all times
- Current, accurate ELD logs and DVIRs
- Full equipment inspections every shift
- Professional dispatch communication
WHAT IT TAKES
- Valid Class A CDL
- 21 years or older
- 120+ hours from an accredited CDL school
- Clean driving record
- Pass DOT physical and pre-employment drug screen
