CDL-A Truck Driver - East Coast Lanes - New Grads Welcome

American Driver
Anderson, SC Full Time
POSTED ON 10/22/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/19/2026
Upstate drivers: start at $0.55 a mile, run the East Coast and come home every two weeks.

You go up and down the Eastern Seaboard out of Greer: Charlotte, Richmond, Harrisburg, Atlanta, Nashville. The loads don't go far west, so you're never stuck out in Texas or the Rockies.

Pay starts at $0.55 per mile for the first 11 months. Each year of experience adds a cent, up to $0.65. Drivers run about 2,500 miles a week and average $1,200 to $1,500. On top of that you get $15 per stop and a performance bonus. For your first 3 months solo, you're guaranteed $1,000 a week. Paid weekly.

Freight is dry van: drop and hook, preloads, live loads and live unloads. Day or night, depending on the load.

For new drivers

You need a CDL-A school certificate of 120 hours or more. Then 3 to 5 weeks (200 to 250 hours) with a mentor, paid every week, before you get your own truck.

Benefits

Medical, dental and vision. 401(k). Paid time off.
