Job description

North Alabama drivers: regional dry van runs along the eastern states, a paycheck guaranteed while you get started, and a mentor beside you from day one.

Never driven professionally? This fleet hires drivers right out of CDL school.

Pay

• $1,200 to $1,800 average weekly gross
• $650 a week while you train
• $1,000 a week guaranteed for your first 3 months solo
• $0.55 per mile to start, up a cent every year to $0.65
• $15 stop pay
• 2,000 to 2,500 miles a week

Where you run

Loads move up and down the eastern seaboard and don’t go far west. Drop and hook, preloads, plus some live loads and unloads. You are home every two weeks, and your truck is assigned to you.

Straight answers for new drivers

• “Who teaches me?” A mentor rides with you for 4 to 6 weeks and coaches you on backing, trip planning, logs and fueling.
• “Will my pay crash after training?” No. For 3 months solo it stays at $1,000 a week or more.
• “Does my CDL school count?” If it was 120 hours or more, yes.

From application to your own truck

After you apply, a recruiter calls to look over your license and record with you. Orientation takes 2 days at most, with the hotel paid, your bus ticket reimbursed, and $300 once you are hired. After mentor training you get your own truck, about 1.5 years old on average.

Who can apply

• Valid Class A CDL, 21 or older
• New driver with a 120 hour school certificate, or 6 months of recent experience
• Record: no more than 2 moving violations in 2 years, no DUI/DWI in 10
• DOT physical and drug screening (hair and urine)

After your first 30 days: health, dental and vision insurance, 401(k) and stock purchase plan, paid vacation, and an online college degree at no cost for you and a family member.
