• Step 2, mentor training: a minimum of 10 days over the road, driving at least 5 hours a day next to an experienced mentor. You earn $75 a day
• Step 3, sign off: backing evaluation, pre-trip inspection and road test, then you get your own truck
• Women in training ride with female mentors

What You Earn Solo

• $0.50 per mile at 2,000 safe miles a week
• 2,600 miles is about $1,300, 2,800 miles about $1,400 a week

Freight and Home Time

• Dry van, 100% no touch, around 70% drop and hook
• Freight from our own customer base, planned 1 to 3 days ahead so you keep rolling
