Job Description

Getting your CDL was the hard part. Finding a company that will actually train you, pay you while you learn, and keep you busy afterward should not be. Drivers from the Zanesville area are joining a regional fleet that does exactly that.

What the First Two Months Look Like

Day one, you are paired with a trainer who has run these lanes for years. For 4 to 6 weeks you learn trip planning, backing, customer stops, and electronic logs on live freight, earning $850 every week. When you are ready, you get your own truck and full pay, with a $1,000 weekly guarantee covering your first 3 months solo.

The Routes

Most loads run up and down the eastern seaboard, so you will not spend weeks out West. You average around 2,500 miles a week hauling dry van freight, mostly drop and hook with some live stops, and you are home every 2 weeks.

Earnings Once You Settle In

Weekly Average: $1,200 to $1,400
Mileage: Beginning at 55 cents and rising a penny for every additional year of experience, topping out at 65 cents
On Top: $15 per stop and a monthly performance bonus

Benefits

Medical, dental, vision after 30 days
401k with company match
Paid time off
$300 orientation pay with travel covered
Riders and pets: day one if you are experienced, after training if you are new
