What are the responsibilities and job description for the CDL-A Reefer Driver - Zero Unloading - Trainees and Experienced position at American Driver?
Refrigerated freight pays better than dry, and on this fleet you never unload a trailer. Drivers haul reefer loads through the East and Midwest, average $1,300 to $1,500 a week, and come home every two weeks. We are hiring in Levittown, Bristol and across Lower Bucks County. New CDL graduates get paid training. Experienced drivers start solo.
Numbers first
You haul refrigerated freight on regional lanes across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. The freight is no-touch: you back in, wait for the dock crew, and roll out. Miles stay steady because refrigerated freight moves every week of the year.
If you are new
Training lasts 3 to 5 weeks, about 200 to 250 hours, with a mentor in the truck. You earn $650 each week. You need a completed truck driving school of at least 120 hours. After sign-off you get your own tractor.
If You Are Experienced
With 6 months or more of recent tractor-trailer time, you skip training and run solo after orientation. Driving teams are welcome too, and teams typically run 3,000 to 4,000 miles a week.
Orientation
Two days or less, paid at $300 once you are hired. Bus fare to get there is reimbursed with a receipt.
Truck and extras
Medical, prescription, dental and vision coverage, a 401(k), employee stock purchase, life and disability insurance, and a free online degree for you and one dependent.
Requirements
Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or veteran status.
