CDL-A Driver Trainee - Paid Mentorship Program

NIS EXPRESS
Inverness, FL Full Time
POSTED ON 9/28/2026

Same Truck Every Week. That's Not a Perk, It's the Standard Here.
Too many OTR jobs put you in a different truck every trip and call it flexibility. We do it differently: one truck, assigned to you, for as long as you're driving for us.

We're hiring CDL-A drivers in the Inverness Highlands North, FL area for OTR routes running 2024 and newer equipment, 100% no-touch dry van freight, and a home-time schedule you can plan your life around. New CDL-A holders and experienced drivers are both welcome.

PAY

  • $1,400 to $1,600 average weekly gross after training
  • Top 25% of drivers average up to $1,800 per week gross
  • Pay scales with CPM, miles driven, and performance
  • Direct deposit every week

EQUIPMENT

  • 2024 and newer Kenworth T680 or Freightliner Cascadia, automatic transmission
  • One truck, assigned to you, no slip seating
  • Take it home during your scheduled days off
  • 100% no-touch, dry van freight only

HOME TIME

  • 14 days out
  • 2 full days home

TRAINING

  • $300 orientation pay, plus transportation to orientation covered
  • New CDL-A holders: $850/week average weekly gross during a 3 to 5 week mentorship program (about 200 to 250 hours hands-on)
  • Experienced drivers move straight into solo operations if requirements are met

REQUIREMENTS

  • 21 years or older
  • Valid Class A CDL
  • Valid DOT Medical Card
  • Solid driving record and work history
  • Pass DOT drug test and background check
  • Meet all applicable DOT and company requirements

EXPERIENCE

  • Experienced drivers: at least 6 months verifiable solo driving time; mentor/trainer time doesn't count
  • New CDL-A holders: 120 hours from an accredited CDL school, plus completion of the company training program

BENEFITS

  • Medical, dental, vision
  • 401(k)
  • PTO
  • Weekly direct deposit
