Entry-Level Truck Driver – Paid OTR Training (No CDL Required)

This job opportunity is offered by a reputable trucking company that specializes in over-the-road (OTR) transportation services across the eastern United States. The company is committed to providing reliable, safe, and efficient freight hauling solutions by investing in their drivers and offering comprehensive training programs that require no prior commercial driver's license (CDL) experience. Designed for individuals who are looking to launch a career in trucking without any previous experience or CDL credentials, this role presents a unique chance to earn a lucrative first-year salary while receiving full CDL training at no cost. Their operations focus on Super Regional routes east of I-35, avoiding the Northeast extremes to provide steady and consistent freight opportunities and maintain a predictable home schedule. Layover pay, paid tolls, and scales are also part of the compensation package ensuring drivers are fairly reimbursed.

As an OTR truck driver, you will benefit from an attractive pay structure starting at 41 cents per mile, with performance-based raises every 90 days during the first year and monthly safety bonuses tied to miles driven. Beyond the monetary incentives, this role guarantees paid loaded and empty miles, steady freight, and reliable home time with 10 to 14 days out and two full days at home. The company offers local CDL training in Richland, Mississippi, including orientation with paid perks such as travel, hotel, and meals covered to support new trainees. The extensive hands-on training consists of 175 hours with a trainer before going full OTR, and trainees can expect paid training at $90 per day. This structured program aims to prepare drivers for a successful and sustainable long-term career in trucking.

Benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance that start after 30 days of employment, a 401(k) retirement plan, paid vacation, life and disability insurance, and access to late-model equipment that is four years old or newer. The company prides itself on a supportive team environment that fosters growth and welfare of its drivers. The job is perfect for anyone over the age of 21 with a valid driver’s license, who can pass DOT physical and drug screening, and holds an acceptable driving record. Join a forward-thinking company that values its drivers and offers clear pathways to improve skills, earnings, and career stability. This is more than just a driving job; it’s a career starter for dedicated individuals seeking financial independence and professional growth in the trucking industry.
