Job Description

Plenty of North Country drivers finish CDL school and then realize the nearest decent trucking job is hours away. This one hires out of the Syracuse area and runs freight up and down the East Coast, so you can build a real career without moving your life.

Your Path From Student to Solo

You start by riding with an experienced trainer for 4 to 6 weeks, running actual loads and learning the lanes. That time is paid at $850 a week. When training wraps up you move into your own truck on full pay, and your first 3 solo months come with a $1,000 weekly guarantee.
