DRIVER TRAINEE PROGRAM

Drivers with less than 12 months of recent experience or no driving experience but have completed at least 160 hours of CDL school within the past 3 months are considered Trainees.

– Every Trainee must attend 3 ½ days of orientation which pays $180/day when completed.

– Trainees start at $85 per day while with a trainer for an average of 4 weeks. During training, the trainee does 90% of the driving and planning, while the trainer is there to advise and observe. Team driving is not allowed. Trainer and trainee maintain the same 14hr clock.

– After graduating the Trainee Course, drivers get a pay raise every 2-3 months up to their 1-year anniversary of being a solo driver. Drivers receive a 1CPM raise every year on their anniversary.

– Once a trainee gets their own truck, they qualify for the monthly bonus (this may change with or without notice).
