Job description

West Bank drivers: brand-new CDL, real OTR miles, paid while you learn.

Most carriers want a year of experience. Here, 120 hours of CDL school is enough to start. You train with a mentor, then run everything east of Denver and stay out of the Northeast.

What you earn

• Paid every week during training
• $1,000 a week guaranteed for your first 3 months solo
• $1,200 to $1,800 a week once solo
• 1,800 to 2,900 miles a week
• $15 stop pay
• Weekly direct deposit

Your week

OTR lanes east of Denver, no Northeast. Drop and hook, live loads, live unloads and preloads. Out about two weeks, then home. Dispatch answers 24/7.

New CDL? Here is the path

• Call: we check your license and record with you first. No surprises later.
• Orientation: up to 2 days, hotel covered, bus fare reimbursed, $300 once hired.
• Training: 4 to 6 weeks one-on-one with a mentor, paid every week.
• Solo: your own assigned truck, fleet average about 1.5 years old. For your first 3 months solo, your pay will not drop below $1,000 a week.

Nervous about your first driving job? Fair.

• "How often will I see home?" Every two weeks.
• "Does my CDL school count?" If it was 120 hours or more, yes.
• "Do I pay for orientation?" No. Hotel covered, bus ticket reimbursed, and $300 once you are hired.
• "I am not good at backing yet." Nobody is on day one. You practice for weeks with a mentor beside you before you drive alone.
• "What if my first solo weeks are slow?" You still get at least $1,000 a week for your first 3 months solo.

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.

Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants are considered regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or protected veteran status.
