CDL-A OTR Driver | Paid Training | Home Every 2 Weeks

American Driver
Marrero, LA Full Time
POSTED ON 10/8/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/3/2026
West Bank drivers: brand-new CDL, real OTR miles, paid while you learn.

Most carriers want a year of experience. Here, 120 hours of CDL school is enough to start. You train with a mentor, then run everything east of Denver and stay out of the Northeast.

What You Earn

  • Paid every week during training
  • $1,000 a week guaranteed for your first 3 months solo
  • $1,200 to $1,800 a week once solo
  • 1,800 to 2,900 miles a week
  • $15 stop pay
  • Weekly direct deposit


Your week

OTR lanes east of Denver, no Northeast. Drop and hook, live loads, live unloads and preloads. Out about two weeks, then home. Dispatch answers 24/7.

New CDL? Here is the path

  • Call: we check your license and record with you first. No surprises later.
  • Orientation: up to 2 days, hotel covered, bus fare reimbursed, $300 once hired.
  • Training: 4 to 6 weeks one-on-one with a mentor, paid every week.
  • Solo: your own assigned truck, fleet average about 1.5 years old. For your first 3 months solo, your pay will not drop below $1,000 a week.


Nervous about your first driving job? Fair.

  • "How often will I see home?" Every two weeks.
  • "Does my CDL school count?" If it was 120 hours or more, yes.
  • "Do I pay for orientation?" No. Hotel covered, bus ticket reimbursed, and $300 once you are hired.
  • "I am not good at backing yet." Nobody is on day one. You practice for weeks with a mentor beside you before you drive alone.
  • "What if my first solo weeks are slow?" You still get at least $1,000 a week for your first 3 months solo.


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. Pets and riders are allowed; trainees can bring a dog once training is finished.
