American Driver
Perth, NJ Full Time
POSTED ON 10/8/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/3/2026
Perth Amboy drivers: home every night, paid per load and per mile.

If you want to drive for a living and still sleep at home, local intermodal is the seat. New CDL-A holders welcome.

The money

  • $650 a week during training
  • $1,200 to $1,800 a week once solo
  • $55 per load plus $0.61 a mile
  • 1,100 to 1,700 miles a week
  • Paid weekly


Your week

Container moves from the Avenel yard to customers across New Jersey. Mostly drop and hook with some live loads. Home daily.

From CDL school to running solo

  • A recruiter calls you and reviews your CDL and driving record with you.
  • Orientation, 2 days at most. Hotel paid, one-way bus ticket reimbursed, $300 for orientation once hired.
  • 4 to 6 weeks with a mentor: backing, trip planning, logs and fueling. You are paid $650 a week.
  • You run local container moves on your own and go home every night.


Straight answers for new drivers

  • "How often will I see home?" Every night.
  • "Do I pay for orientation?" No. Hotel covered, bus ticket reimbursed, and $300 once you are hired.
  • "Does my CDL school count?" If it was 120 hours or more, yes.
  • "What if I have a problem on the road?" Loads are planned for you, and your driver leader picks up the phone.


To qualify

You must be 21 or older with a Class A CDL. New drivers need at least 120 hours from a CDL school; otherwise, 6 months of recent experience. We accept up to 2 moving violations in the last 2 years and no DUI/DWI in the last 10. You will also pass a DOT physical and a hair and urine drug test.

Once you pass 30 days

Full medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage, a 401(k), an employee stock purchase plan, paid vacation, yearly raises, and a free online degree for you and one family member.
