CDL-A NEW GRADUATES — YOUR FIRST TRUCKING JOB DOESN'T HAVE TO OTR

KnowHow Regional Routes | Home 3 Out of 4 Nights

$22/Hour During Initial Qualification → $23/Hour Once Qualified Overtime Safety Incentives

You earned your Class A CDL. Now it’s time to turn that license into real driving experience.

KnowHow Transportation LLC is hiring new and recent CDL-A graduates who are ready to start their professional driving careers with a company that will support, coach , and help you build confidence behind the wheel.

If you’ve been hearing, “Come back when you have experience,” we want you to know there are companies willing to give new drivers a real opportunity.

KnowHow is one of those companies.

Build Experience Without Living on the Road

For many new CDL drivers, the traditional path means going OTR and spending days or even weeks away from home.

At KnowHow, there’s another way.

Our regional Amazon Freight routes allow you to gain valuable tractor-trailer experience while maintaining significantly more home time.

You’ll typically spend only one night away during your work rotation and be home 3 out of every 4 nights.

Build your career.

Build your experience.

And still have a life outside the truck.

Start With Training. Grow From There.

We know you’re a new driver.

We’re not hiring you and expecting you to perform like someone with ten years behind the wheel.

Our experienced drivers and leadership team will help you develop the skills, confidence, and professional habits you need to become a successful CDL driver.

Compensation

  • $22.00/hour during initial qualification period
  • $23.00/hour once successfully qualified
  • Overtime opportunities
  • Weekly safety incentives
  • Performance incentives
  • Weekly direct deposit

Gain Real CDL Experience

You’ll receive hands-on experience with:

  • Tractor-trailer operation
  • Regional highway driving
  • Sleeper-cab operations
  • Drop & hook procedures
  • Trip planning
  • Hours-of-Service compliance
  • Amazon Freight operations
  • Professional safety standards
  • Time management and route execution

Drive More. Unload Less.

100% No-Touch

You’ll haul consistent Amazon freight using modern equipment and technology.

What We Want From You

You don’t need years of experience.

You do need the right attitude.

We’re looking for new drivers who are:

  • Safety-minded
  • Dependable
  • Coachable
  • Professional
  • Willing to learn

Why KnowHow?

KnowHow Transportation is a family-owned Amazon Freight Partner built around a simple belief:

Drivers deserve respect, communication, support, and opportunity.

We’re also part of an Amazon Pinnacle Partner organization—an elite distinction earned by fewer than 2% of Amazon Delivery Service Partners selected to expand into additional Amazon transportation opportunities.

That means you’re joining a growing company with a proven history of success.

But more importantly, you’re joining a company that remembers something many carriers forget:

Every experienced CDL driver was once a new CDL driver.

Someone gave them their first opportunity.

We’d like to give you yours.

  • Recent CDL graduates encouraged to apply
  • At least 21 years old
  • Able to pass DOT physical
  • Able to pass required drug screening and background checks
  • Acceptable motor vehicle record

You’ve already invested in your future.

Now build the experience that can turn trucking into a career.

Get your start with KnowHow Transportation.
