Job Description

Are you a professional driver ready to take your career to the next level? Join our elite fleet as a CDL-A Driver Mentor and help train the next generation of drivers while drastically increasing your weekly income.

As a Mentor, your earning capacity skyrockets because you are paid for every single mile the truck moves - regardless of whether you or your student are behind the wheel. If you live within 90 miles of Tampa, have a passion for leading others, and meet our safety standards, we want you on our team.

The Earning Advantage (Paid on ALL Miles):

• Base Mileage Pay: Generous 0.55 to 0.65 CPM base rate.
• Training Multiplier: +$0.10 CPM extra on all miles while a student is onboard.
• Productivity Boost: +$0.04 CPM productivity bonus.
• Uncapped Mileage: You get paid for all truck miles, not just your own. Once your student completes their daily driving, you can run the rest of the 14-hour clock to stack massive miles.

Additional Mentor Bonuses & Longevity Pay:

• $500 Milestone Bonus: Paid after your student completes 10,000 safe miles.
• $300 Milestone Bonus: Paid after your student completes 20,000 safe miles.
• Elite Mentor Status: After training just 6 students, you earn an extra $0.01 CPM for every mile your students drive during their first full solo year with the company.
• Perks: Priority dispatch, highly consistent loads, and an organized online training checklist to keep your mentoring structured.

Schedule & Home Time Structure:

• Typical OTR Mentor Run: 11 days total on the road, followed by 2 full days at home.
• Training Routine: Day 1 is observation. Days 2-11 require the student to drive at least 5 hours per day.
• Flexible Pacing: We highly recommend taking a week to run solo between students to rest and recharge at your own pace.

Paid Mentor Preparation & Training:

Before you take your first student, we set you up for absolute success with a paid preparation course:

• Location: Arkansas
• Schedule: Monday - Thursday (8:00 AM - 4:30 PM) with lunch provided.
• Accommodations: Free stay at the Holiday Inn Springdale, including a free hot breakfast.
• Training Pay: $850 paid upon successful completion of the course.
• Onboarding Bonuses: Get $250 for your first student pickup, plus an additional $250 for your first student dispatch.

• Experience: Minimum of 3+ months of verifiable tractor-trailer experience.
• Location: Must live within 90 miles of Tampa.
• Availability: Able and willing to travel and work Over-the-Road (OTR).
• Attitude: A professional demeanor and a genuine desire to coach and lead incoming drivers safely.
