Job description

Description

NO EXPERIENCE? NO PROBLEM. BUT YOU MUST BE WILLING TO WORK OVER THE ROAD.

DHT IS HIRING NEW CDL-A DRIVERS NOW.

You earned your CDL-A. Now you need a company willing to give you a chance to earn real OTR experience. DHT does.

Too many companies want experienced drivers but aren't willing to train the next generation. At DHT, we invest in new CDL-A drivers who are ready to work, learn, spend time on the road, and build a professional driving career.

If you recently earned your CDL-A and you're ready for the realities of Over-the-Road trucking, this is your opportunity.

NOW HIRING: ENTRY-LEVEL CDL-A OTR DRIVERS

Dry Van | Over-the-Road | Paid Training | Driver Mentor Program

Based out of Reese, Michigan

Up to $2,000 Sign-On Bonus Based on Experience

IMPORTANT: THIS IS AN OVER-THE-ROAD POSITION.

THIS is NOT a local driving position. You will NOT be home every night.

Drivers must be willing and able to spend multiple nights away from home as part of their regular work schedule.

DHT drivers receive weekly home resets, but the job requires a genuine commitment to the OTR lifestyle.

If you are looking for local, home-daily driving, this position is not the right fit. We want candidates to understand that before they apply.

We're Looking For Drivers Who
  • Understand and accept that this is an OTR position
  • Are comfortable spending multiple nights away from home
  • Show up ready to work
  • Want real miles and real driving experience
  • Take safety seriously
  • Can handle the responsibility of operating independently
  • Want to build a long-term professional driving career

If you aren't willing to work OTR or need to be home every night, please do not apply for this position.

But if you're motivated, dependable, safety-focused, and ready to put in the miles, DHT is ready to give you the opportunity to build real-world experience.

What You Get
  • Paid training with experienced driver mentors
  • Real OTR driving experience
  • First-in / first-out dispatch
  • Weekly home resets
  • Flexible time off
  • Modern equipment
  • Supportive trainers
  • Opportunities to grow within DHT
What You'll Learn
  • Safe interstate driving
  • DOT compliance
  • Trip planning
  • Cargo securement
  • Pre-trip and post-trip inspections
  • Real-world freight operations
  • Professional driving habits that build long-term careers
Requirements
  • Valid CDL-A license
  • Willing and able to work Over the Road
  • Comfortable spending multiple nights away from home
  • Strong work ethic
  • Safety-focused mindset
  • Willingness to learn
  • Professional attitude
  • Licensed CDL Class A Driver
  • Acceptable MVR
  • Ability and willingness to work an over-the-road schedule after training
Physical Requirements For CDL A Dry Van Drivers
  • Must be able to lift a minimum of 50 pounds
  • Must be able to pass a drug and alcohol screen
  • Must be able to pass a DOT physical

Military veterans strongly encouraged to apply. Your discipline, commitment, and ability to perform under pressure can make you a strong fit for a professional driving career with DHT.

Your career starts here. You earned the license. Now earn the experience. If you're ready to commit to life on the road and build the experience that can launch your professional driving career, apply today. DHT will give you the opportunity. You have to be ready to put in the miles.
