What are the responsibilities and job description for the CDL-A Truck Driver - Newly Licensed OK - Home Every Other Week position at American Driver?
We're hiring newly licensed CDL-A drivers in Richland, Florence and Rankin County for an OTR dry van seat. You make $650 a week while you train. Solo pay averages $1,200 to $1,800 a week, and you're home every other week.
Not every seat fits every driver. Read the two lists and decide.
This seat fits you if:
- You have your Class A and need someone to give you the first shot
- You want to be paid while you learn
- You're OK being out for two weeks and then home
- You want a truck that's yours, not shared
- You want 1,800 to 2,900 miles a week once you're solo
This seat isn't for you if:
- You need to be home every night
- You're not willing to work some weekends
- You want Northeast runs. These loads stay from Denver east, outside the Northeast.
If it fits, here's what you get
- 3 to 5 weeks (200–250 hours) of mentor training at $650 a week
- A $1,000 weekly guarantee for your first 3 solo months
- $1,200–$1,800 average weekly pay after that
- $15 per extra stop, $75 plus miles on short hauls
- A monthly performance bonus
- $300 for orientation (two days or less, hotel covered, bus fare reimbursed)
- An assigned truck, about 1.5 years old on average
Freight is dry van, a mix of drop and hook, preloads and live loads. Holiday runs are voluntary.
After 30 days: medical, dental, vision and prescriptions, a 401(k), stock purchase, employee assistance and a free online degree for you plus one dependent. Riders allowed. One dog under 40 lbs once training ends.
You'll need: to be 21 with a CDL-A, a new grad or 6 months of recent experience, no more than 2 moving violations in 2 years, no DUI/DWI in 10 years, and a passed DOT physical and hair/urine screen.
If the first list sounds like you, apply. A recruiter will be in touch.
