Job Description
Our company is a reputable transportation service provider located near Nashville, specializing in local freight delivery with an emphasis on safety and reliability. We are dedicated to supporting new drivers as they begin their careers in the trucking industry, offering a structured New Driver/Student Mentoring Program designed specifically for individuals who are new to the transportation field. This program provides paid training lasting a minimum of four weeks, during which new drivers receive hands-on coaching and mentorship from experienced professionals. Our goal is to equip new Class A CDL drivers with the skills and confidence needed to succeed on the road and advance their careers in local transport routes, which operate within a 50-mile radius of Nashville.
We offer competitive compensation packages starting at $18 per hour during the onboarding period, with new drivers generally earning between $900 and $1,000 per week during this stage. Upon successful completion of the onboarding program, drivers transition to our Experienced Driver division, where salaries increase significantly, averaging between $1,200 and $1,500 weekly. Top-performing experienced drivers can expect to earn between $1,400 and $1,600 weekly. Our routes are local and home daily, which provides a balanced work-life schedule ideal for drivers who prefer not to be away from home for extended periods. A key advantage of this position is that it involves 100% no-touch freight, meaning drivers are not required to manually load or unload cargo, enhancing safety and reducing physical strain.
This role does not require prior driving experience beyond obtaining a Class A CDL or a certificate from a reputable truck driving school, making it an excellent opportunity for newly licensed drivers ready to embark on a rewarding career path. The position demands a strong commitment to safety and adherence to company policies. Qualified candidates must meet specific criteria related to age, driving record, and experience to ensure compliance with industry standards and insurance requirements.
As a local Class A CDL driver with our company, you will be part of a supportive team environment where professional growth and development are prioritized. The comprehensive training and mentorship programs foster skill enhancement, encourage safe driving practices, and provide the foundation for career advancement within the transportation sector. We are actively seeking motivated and responsible drivers who are eager to start their driving careers within the vibrant Nashville area, where they can build a sustainable and prosperous future.
