American Driver
Lutz, FL Full Time
POSTED ON 10/2/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/30/2026
Got your CDL, but every company wants experience first? This one hires new grads and pays you while you learn.

Here is exactly what happens after you apply, so there are no surprises.

Step 1: A recruiter calls you. Same business day. They check your license, your record and your school hours. 120 hours from CDL school is enough.

Step 2: You train with a mentor, paid. One-on-one, in the truck, with an experienced driver. You earn from the start instead of paying to learn.

Step 3: You go solo. When you finish, you get your own assigned truck, an automatic or 10-speed about 1.5 years old, and full solo mileage pay.

What Solo Pays

  • About $1,200 a week, roughly $62,400 a year
  • $0.55 a mile to start, rising $0.01 every year up to $0.65
  • About 2,500 miles a week
  • Weekly direct deposit
