Your week

Night shift, dedicated grocery runs. Drop and hook and live unloads, no touch. Six-day work week, home weekly for your 34-hour reset.

From CDL school to your own truck

1. A recruiter calls you and reviews your CDL and driving record with you.
2. Orientation, 2 days at most. Hotel paid, one-way bus ticket reimbursed, $300 for orientation once hired.
3. 4 to 6 weeks with a mentor: backing, trip planning, logs and fueling. You are paid $650 a week.
4. Your own assigned truck, about 1.5 years old on average, automatic or 10-speed.

Straight answers for new drivers

• "How often will I see home?" Every week, for your 34-hour reset.
• "Do I pay for orientation?" No. Hotel covered, bus ticket reimbursed, and $300 once you are hired.
• "Does my CDL school count?" If it was 120 hours or more, yes.
• "What if I have a problem on the road?" Loads are planned for you, and your driver leader picks up the phone.

To qualify

You must be 21 or older with a Class A CDL. New drivers need at least 120 hours from a CDL school; otherwise, 6 months of recent experience. We accept up to 2 moving violations in the last 2 years and no DUI/DWI in the last 10. You will also pass a DOT physical and a hair and urine drug test.

Once you pass 30 days

Full medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage, a 401(k), an employee stock purchase plan, paid vacation, yearly raises, and a free online degree for you and one family member. Pets and riders are allowed; trainees can bring a dog once training is finished.
