American Driver
Albany, OR Full Time
POSTED ON 8/10/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/9/2026
Are you tired of regional jobs that overpromise and underdeliver? We have built a driving lane centered around predictable income, dedicated equipment, and an operation that respects your federally mandated home rest.

Financial Potential & Earnings

  • Weekly Gross: Expect a realistic gross between $1,300 and $1,500 for drivers managing their logbook hours efficiently.
  • Mileage Rate: Launch your employment at $0.56 CPM, climbing up to $0.64 CPM as your tenure grows.
  • Safety Bumps: Cash bonuses paid out regularly for maintaining clean safety records.
  • Payroll Stability: Direct deposit hits your bank account weekly without fail or surprises.
  • Onboarding Pay: Orientation is 100% compensated starting from your very first classroom hour.


Equipment, Cargo & Logistics

  • Assigned Fleet: Take command of your own late-model Freightliner or Kenworth tractor from day one—no truck swapping or sharing.
  • Trailer Specs: Exclusively pulling dry van trailers, meaning you never need specialized endorsements.
  • Zero Driver Touch: Cargo handling is completely taken care of; you will never touch a single box of freight.
  • Workflow: Network leans heavily on drop & hook freight to eliminate dock delays, with select live stops required.


Scheduling & Geography

  • Fixed Corridors: Operations are kept within a fixed regional territory so your routes are always familiar.
  • Year-Round Volume: Distance stays stable at 2,000 to 2,400 miles per week all year long, backed by a dedicated load planner.
  • Home Time: Your 34-hour restart is built into your schedule every week so you get home regularly.
  • Voluntary Miles: Flexibility to stay out longer on the road if you choose to hit higher financial goals.


Paid Apprentice & Student Program

  • Experience Level: Open to CDL-A holders at all stages of their career, including recent school grads.
  • Mentorship Phase: A 4 to 5-week paid program pairing you with a senior driver to master trip planning, compliance, and defensive driving.
  • No Reduced Pay: Training compensation matches our standard orientation rate—no discounted student wages.
  • Solo Transition: Move into an independent solo truck the moment your mentor certifies your skills.


Insurance Perks & Benefits

  • Full medical, dental, and vision insurance options for complete peace of mind.
  • 401(k) retirement plans featuring company-matching contributions.
  • Paid time off (PTO) starts accruing right after your introductory employment period.
  • Free employer-funded life insurance and accidental death policies.
  • Family and pet-friendly guidelines allowing passengers or dogs in your truck.


Minimum Hiring Mandates

  • Valid, current Class A Commercial Driver's License.
  • Trucking school graduate status or at least 6 months of verifiable tractor-trailer time.
  • Successful completion of the mandatory DOT physical and pre-employment substance screen.
  • A driving record showing no more than 2 moving violations in the past 3 years.
  • Zero drug or alcohol driving convictions (DUI/DWI) within the last 36 months.
  • Background check clear of felony convictions for the past 5 years.
