Have your Class A CDL but haven't had the opportunity to get behind the wheel professionally? We’re looking for qualified new CDL drivers and recent truck driving school graduates to join our growing driver team.
Opportunities may include OTR, regional, dedicated, and select local routes, depending on your location and available freight.
Get Paid While You Gain Experience
Starting your trucking career doesn't have to mean figuring everything out on your own. Our structured training program puts you with an experienced professional driver so you can develop the skills and confidence needed to become a successful solo driver.
What to Expect During Training
Approximately 4 weeks of paid OTR training
One-on-one experience with a qualified driver trainer
Hands-on instruction in real-world trucking operations
Valuable over-the-road driving experience
$650–$900 per week during training, depending on the hiring area
Initial Training Home Time
Plan on being out with your trainer for the first 30 days. Home time is normally not available during this initial training period.
Depending on the location and freight, some dedicated or local opportunities may offer more frequent home time.
Where We're Hiring
At this time, we are unable to hire applicants who reside in:
Alaska
Hawaii
Connecticut
North Dakota
South Dakota
New Hampshire
Florida: We currently cannot hire drivers who live south of an imaginary line extending from the Tampa Bay area east toward Cape Canaveral. Applicants living north of this line may qualify.
Who Can Apply?
Applicants must meet the following requirements:
Be 21 years of age or older
Have a valid Class A CDL
Hold a current DOT Medical Card
Have graduated from an accredited CDL training school
Completed at least 120 instructional hours
CDL school graduation must have occurred within the past 24 months
Successfully complete required DOT drug testing, including urine and/or hair testing as applicable
Pass required background and employment verification checks
Provide a complete driving history
Your driving record must include:
All accidents occurring within the previous 5 years
Moving violations from the previous 3 years
What Happens After Training?
After successfully completing the training program, you'll typically receive 2–5 days off before speaking with driver management about available positions.
At that point, we'll look at your location, experience, and preferences to determine which driving opportunity is the best fit.
Many newly licensed drivers start in OTR positions, with home time generally occurring every 10–14 days.
Our OTR operation allows you to spend nights in the truck while operating in your home state plus approximately three additional states. This gives new drivers the opportunity to build valuable OTR experience while operating within a more manageable regional area.
Depending on freight and your location, regional, dedicated, and select local positions may also be available. Local opportunities are generally concentrated around larger metropolitan areas.
Choose From Multiple Freight Types
There are currently 23 driver openings available across several freight divisions:
Dry Van
Refrigerated / Reefer
Flatbed
Interested in flatbed? Qualified drivers can take advantage of a FREE 5-day Flatbed Securement Certification Program.
Newer Trucks & Equipment
You'll operate modern equipment built with driver comfort and reliability in mind.
The fleet consists primarily of late-model Freightliner tractors, with many units equipped with automatic transmissions.
Earn Competitive Weekly Pay
After completing the training program, many drivers earn approximately:
$1,200–$1,600+ Per Week

Type of freight
Route and assignment
Miles available
