POSTED ON 10/30/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/14/2027

Fresh out of CDL school and not sure where to start? This program is built for exactly that: real mentorship, weekly guaranteed pay, and a clear path to solid solo earnings once you're ready.

The Freight & Where You'll Run

  • Territory stays east of I 35.
  • New York City and its five boroughs are never on the route.
  • Freight is 100 percent no touch dry van.
  • Split runs about 70 percent drop and hook, 30 percent live load and unload.

Your Truck, Your Schedule

  • Drive a 2022 or newer Freightliner or Kenworth automatic, APU equipped for rest breaks.
  • Once solo, that truck is yours, no slip seating, with take home options on the table.
  • Riders and pets are welcome once training wraps up.
  • Out 12 days, home for 2.

What Solo Drivers Actually Earn

  • Floor of $1,000 a week guaranteed through your first 3 solo months.
  • Most drivers average $1,300 to $1,500 weekly gross.
  • Top performers see $1,750 or more.
  • Mileage typically runs 2,200 to 2,800 a week.

4 to 6 Weeks of Real Training

  • You'll ride with an experienced trainer for the full 4 to 6 weeks, running actual loads on actual routes, not a classroom.
  • Learn hands on: trip planning, backing and maneuvering, drop and hook procedures, log book and ELD compliance, and how to handle live load and unload stops.
  • Your trainer walks you through company systems, communication with dispatch, and what to expect once you're running solo.
  • Training pay is direct deposited every Friday, and the moment you finish, you move straight to full solo pay.

What Makes This Different

  • Income Protection: Once you finish training and go solo, your pay is guaranteed at $1,000 a week minimum for your first 3 months.
  • No Waiting Around for Full Pay: The moment you're solo, you're on full pay rates.
  • Orientation Covered: $300 orientation pay, plus travel and lodging arranged and paid for by the company.

Benefits Once You Hit 30 Days

  • Full medical, dental, vision, and prescription coverage.
  • 401k with a company match.
  • Life insurance and long term disability, employer funded.
  • Access to the employee stock option program.
  • Vacation time starts building from day one of training.

To Get Started You'll Need

  • A valid CDL-A and to be at least 21.
  • 120 hours completed at an accredited CDL school.
  • A stable work history and clean driving and background record.
  • An active DOT medical card and the ability to pass a pre-employment drug screen.
