Full-time
On-site
You finished CDL school on the Eastern Shore, and now every posting seems to want two years of experience you do not have yet. This one does not. We put new Class A drivers in the seat next to a seasoned trainer, pay them every week while they learn, and keep their miles on the east side of the country.
How Your First Months Play Out
For the first weeks you run real loads with a trainer beside you, earning $850 a week. Once you pass your evaluation you move into your own truck on full mileage pay, and for the first 3 months of solo driving your check never drops below $1,000 a week.
A Normal Stretch on the Road
Two Weeks Out, Then Home: A predictable rhythm you can plan birthdays and ball games around
Staying East: Freight rarely crosses the Mississippi
Mixed Freight: Dry van with drop and hook plus some live load and unload stops
Steady Miles: Roughly 1,900 to 2,300 miles each week
What It Adds Up To
Weekly Earnings: $1,200 to $1,700 on average once you are solo
Rate That Grows: Starting at 55 cents a mile and climbing a cent for each extra year of experience, to a 65 cent cap
Extras: $15 stop pay and a monthly performance bonus
Taking Care of You
Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting after 30 days
A 401k with company match
Paid time off
$300 orientation pay, with travel to orientation covered
Experienced drivers can bring a rider or pet from day one, new drivers once training is done
Who Fits This Seat
21 or older with a valid Class A CDL
New drivers need 120 or more hours from an accredited CDL school
Experienced drivers need 6 months OTR in the past year, or at least 12 months in the past 5 years
Two or fewer moving violations in 2 years and no major preventable accident in 5 years
No DUI or DWI in the last 5 to 10 years, based on when your CDL was issued
Able to pass a DOT physical and hair plus urine drug screening
Must live within 200 miles of Richmond, VA
