CDL-A Truck Driver - Auto Parts Freight - Paid Training

American Driver
Saginaw, MI Full Time
POSTED ON 10/29/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/27/2026
We are hiring Class A drivers in the Saginaw and Bay City area for an automotive fleet that hauls freight for Michigan plants. Your first load goes out of Michigan, and your next loads work you back toward home. Drivers run 1,500 to 2,100 miles a week, average $1,200 to $1,500, and are home every two weeks. Your first 3 months solo carry a $1,000 weekly minimum. New CDL holders train with a mentor at $900 a week. Drivers with 6 months or more of recent experience go solo after orientation.

Who This Job Fits

  • Drivers who want steady freight tied to an industry Michigan knows well
  • Drivers who like a mix of drop and hook, preloads, live loads and live unloads
  • New CDL holders who want paid training and a weekly floor while they build up


Who It Does Not Fit

  • Drivers who need the same route every day. Routes vary, and the trip home is not always direct.
  • Drivers who want to stay out of the cold. Winter driving comes with Michigan freight.


Pay

  • $0.50 to $0.72 per mile based on verifiable experience
  • 1,500 to 2,100 miles a week
  • About $1,200 to $1,500 a week
  • $1,000 weekly minimum for your first 3 months solo
  • $15 per stop, $25 on short hauls
  • $900 a week during training
  • Paid weekly by direct deposit


From application to your own truck

A recruiter calls and reviews your license and record. Orientation takes two days at most, with your hotel covered and your bus ticket paid back, and pays $300 once you are hired. New drivers train 3 to 5 weeks with a mentor, about 200 to 250 hours, at $900 a week. With 6 months of OTR experience in the last 12 months, you skip the mentor and go solo. Your truck is assigned to you, about 1.5 years old on average.

Benefits After 30 Days

Medical, dental, vision and prescription. 401(k) and employee stock purchase plan. Paid time off. A free online degree for you and one family member. Approved riders and one dog under 40 pounds after training.

Requirements

  • Class A CDL from your state of residence, 21 or older
  • Completed CDL-A training at a truck driving school (minimum 120 hours), or 6 months of OTR experience in the last 12 months
  • No more than 2 moving violations in the last 2 years
  • No DUI/DWI in the last 10 years
  • DOT physical, hair and urine drug screen
