• Home: every 2 weeks

We\'re hiring company drivers who live in Calexico, El Centro, Heber, Imperial and Brawley. If you have a fresh CDL and nobody will hire you without experience, we will.

How it runs

After training you run solo in the states west of the Mississippi River. Most trips are 3 days or less, at 1,800–2,200 miles a week. You won\'t be sent to the East Coast unless you ask for it. Winter brings some mountain weather, and you\'ll be trained for it.
