- Phase 3: After 3 Months: Performance-based scaling from $0.56 to $0.64 per mile (Average weekly earnings: $1,200 – $1,700).

During your 4 to 6 weeks of training, you will work alongside a dedicated trainer to master:
- Hands-on Class A tractor-trailer operations in regional terrain.
- ELD systems and strict Hours-of-Service (HOS) compliance.
- Thorough pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections (DVIR).
- Standard dispatch communication and corporate logging procedures.
Operational Details
Once you clear training and transition to a solo driver, your routine will consist of:
- Freight: Consistent regional dry van freight.
- Home Time: Scheduled weekly -BI WEEKLY home time for proper rest.
- Equipment: Late-model, fully maintained, and 100% DOT-compliant fleet.
- Compliance: Maintenance of accurate logs and professional communication with dispatch at all times.

- Valid Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL-A).
- Minimum 120 hours of training completed at an accredited CDL school.
- Must be at least 21 years of age.
