Your first 90 days and beyond
Day 1: the call. A recruiter goes over your license and record with you before anything else, so you know where you stand.
Days 2–3: orientation. Two days at most. Your hotel is paid for, your bus ticket is paid back, and once you're hired orientation pays $300.
Weeks 1–5: on the road with a mentor. That's 200–250 hours of training. You learn backing, trip planning, logs and fueling with an experienced driver beside you. Your pay is $650 a week the entire time.
Months 2–4: your own truck. You get an assigned tractor, about 1.5 years old on average, automatic or 10-speed. Your check has a floor of $1,000 a week for your first three months solo.
After that: full miles. You run 1,800 to 2,900 miles a week of dry van freight east of Denver, with no Northeast. Loads mix drop and hook, preloads and live loads. You earn $15 per extra stop, $75 plus miles on short hauls, and a monthly bonus. Some weekends are on the road, holidays are volunteer, and you're home every two weeks.
