Job description

Lee County drivers with a new Class A CDL: here is the money first, then the details. American Driver is hiring in Lehigh Acres, Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Immokalee for an OTR dry van fleet with paid training and home time every two weeks.

The money

• Orientation: $300 on your first paycheck
• Mentor training (3–5 weeks): $650 a week
• First 3 months solo: $1,000 a week guaranteed
• After that: $1,200–$1,800 a week on average

On top of that: $15 stop pay, $75 plus mileage on short hauls, and a monthly performance bonus. You run 1,800 to 2,900 miles a week.

The training

You learn with an experienced mentor for about 200 to 250 hours on the road. You get your own truck only when you are ready.

The runs

You haul dry van freight east of Denver, mostly through the Southeast, the South and the Midwest. You do not go into the Northeast. You are home every two weeks.

The freight

Live loads, live unloads, preloads and drop and hook.

The honest part

You drive both day and night and work weekends. Loads going north mean some cold-weather driving in winter.

Experienced Drivers

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

Pets

A dog can ride with you after training.

Benefits

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