The work

Dry van freight up and down the eastern seaboard, not far west. Drop and hook, preloads and some live loads and unloads. You are home every two weeks, in an assigned truck about 1.5 years old on average.

Getting started

A recruiter calls and reviews your license and record with you before anything else. Orientation takes no more than 2 days, your hotel is covered, and you get $300 once you are hired. Then mentor training, then the truck is yours.

  • 120 hour CDL school certificate, or 6 months of recent experience
  • No more than 2 moving violations in 2 years, no DUI/DWI in 10
