Job description

Before you apply anywhere, you should know exactly what the job asks of you. So here it is up front. American Driver is hiring Class A drivers in West Monroe, Monroe, Calhoun and West Ouachita for an OTR dry van fleet. School grads are welcome, training is paid, and you are home every two weeks.

Know this first

• This is OTR. You are out about two weeks, then home.
• You drive day and night, and weekends are part of the job.
• Loads run east of Denver, so winter brings some cold-weather driving. You do not go into the Northeast.
• The freight is dry van: live loads, live unloads, preloads and drop and hook.

Now the good part

• Orientation pays $300 on your first paycheck.
• Mentor training pays $650 a week for 3 to 5 weeks, about 200 to 250 hours on the road.
• After your first solo dispatch, you are guaranteed $1,000 a week for 3 months.
• After that, drivers average $1,200 to $1,800 a week on 1,800 to 2,900 miles.
• You get $15 stop pay and $75 plus mileage on short hauls.
• A monthly performance bonus is on top.
• Holiday work is voluntary.

Experienced drivers

First seat and 1-year experienced drivers are welcome. Your mileage pay is based on your verifiable experience. Teams are accepted.

Pets

A dog is allowed once you finish training.

Benefits

Medical, dental and vision coverage, a 401(k) and paid time off.

Requirements

• Age 21+ with a Class A CDL
• Completed CDL-A truck driving school of at least 120 hours
• Acceptable driving record
• DOT physical and drug screen
