Job Description

The company hiring for this position is a reputable transportation service provider specializing in local freight delivery around the Nashville area. They focus primarily on employing Class A CDL drivers who are new to the transportation industry and are actively looking to build their careers in a structured and supportive environment. This company stands out as it offers a unique New Driver and Student Mentoring Program that is specifically designed to help new drivers gain valuable experience and confidence on the road. The mentoring program includes a mandatory paid training period of four weeks, during which new drivers receive hands-on guidance and support to ensure they develop safe and efficient driving habits.

This local trucking company offers competitive pay rates with new drivers earning $18 per hour during the onboarding period. After successful completion of this four-week program, drivers typically experience a substantial pay increase, averaging between $1,200 to $1,500 weekly. More experienced drivers who have completed the onboarding program and transitioned to the Experienced Driver division can expect to earn even more, with weekly earnings averaging from $1,400 to $1,600. Drivers enjoy home daily routes, which means they are able to return home every day, supporting a better work-life balance compared to long-haul trucking jobs.

The work involves 100% no-touch freight, which means drivers do not have to load or unload cargo themselves; this reduces physical strain and allows them to focus primarily on driving. Additionally, the company welcomes drivers with minimal experience, requiring only a certificate from a truck driving school to qualify for the new driver program. This entry point lowers barriers to entry for those looking to get started in the trucking industry without extensive prior driving experience.

By joining this company, new drivers gain access to a supportive work environment that encourages growth and career progression. The company places a high priority on safety, ensuring drivers adhere to strict traffic and vehicle operation standards. Their driver qualification requirements also reflect this commitment to safety, as they disqualify candidates with recent serious traffic violations or at-fault accidents. This approach protects both the drivers and the company, maintaining high standards and a reliable delivery service.

In summary, this company offers excellent opportunities for new Class A CDL drivers looking to start or advance their careers locally. With competitive pay, a comprehensive mentoring program, home daily routes, and no-touch freight, this role offers a highly attractive package for new drivers in the Nashville area who are seeking stable and well-paid employment in the transportation industry.
