- "Will one ticket disqualify me?" Not by itself. We accept up to 2 moving violations in the past 2 years.
- "Will my pay drop when training ends?" No. You have a $1,000 weekly guarantee for your first 3 months solo.
- "How often will I see home?" You are home every two weeks.
Your first six weeks, step by step
It starts with a phone call. Our recruiter checks your license and driving record with you up front, so you know where you stand.
Orientation takes 2 days at most. We cover the hotel and pay you back for a one-way bus ticket. Once you are hired, orientation pays $300.
Then 4 to 6 weeks on the road with a trainer. They sit beside you while you learn to back up, plan a trip, run your logs and fuel. You earn $850 a week the whole time.
Then the truck is yours. An assigned truck, about 1.5 years old on average, automatic or 10-speed. Your first 3 solo months come with a $1,000 weekly guarantee.
Day to day
Solo drivers run at least 1,900 miles a week. Freight goes across the East and Midwest.
No unloading. Weekends and holidays are part of the job.
