Job description

OTR miles without OTR distance. This fleet runs like over-the-road work, with big weekly miles and big checks, but it never puts you more than about two days from home. No loads west of Denver, and no trips into New York or New England. Drivers on this fleet earn $1,200 to $1,800 a week and are home every two weeks. We are hiring around Pendleton, Anderson, Fortville and the northeast Indianapolis area, from new CDL graduates to seasoned drivers.

Why the checks are bigger

• 2,000 to 2,800 miles a week
• Average weekly pay: $1,200 to $1,800
• $75 plus miles on loads under 100 miles
• $15 for each stop except the first and last
• Monthly performance bonus
• New solo drivers: $1,000 weekly guarantee for the first 3 months

The map

Twenty-seven states from Colorado east, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. Freight is dry van, with drop and hook, preloaded trailers and live loads. There is no set lane, so the work stays varied, but dispatch keeps you within reach of home.

New CDL holders

Training pay is $650 a week. You spend 3 to 5 weeks, about 200 to 250 hours, learning beside an experienced mentor. You need a completed truck driving school of at least 120 hours. After sign-off you get your own tractor.

Experienced drivers

Six months or more of recent tractor-trailer experience gets you straight into a solo truck after orientation. Your mileage rate follows your verified experience. Team seats are open for drivers who run with a partner.

Orientation and travel

Orientation lasts two days or less and pays $300 once you are hired. Bus fare to orientation is reimbursed with a receipt.

Truck details

• Late-model tractors about 1.5 years old on average
• Automatic and 10-speed options
• One approved dog up to 40 pounds after training
• Adult rider program for solo drivers

Benefits after 30 days

• Medical, prescription, dental and vision
• 401(k) and stock purchase plan
• Life, disability and critical illness coverage
• Tuition-free online degree for you and one dependent

Requirements

• Valid Class A CDL, 21 or older
• No more than 2 moving violations in 2 years
• No DUI or DWI in 10 years
• DOT physical and hair and urine drug test
