Job Description

Wilson Logistics, Inc. is a reputable family-owned trucking company known for its commitment to investing in drivers' careers from the moment they join onboarding and throughout their driving journey. With a strong focus on driver success and support, Wilson Logistics offers a comprehensive apprenticeship program designed to help new drivers earn their CDL Class A license and establish a long-term career in the trucking industry. Established in the USA, the company is recognized for maintaining high standards of safety, professionalism, and employee well-being. Wilson Logistics prides itself on fostering an inclusive work environment and is an equal Opportunity Employer that values candidates from all backgrounds and promotes diversity and fairness across its workforce.

The Over The Road (OTR) CDL A Driver Apprentice position provides a unique opportunity for individuals with no prior Class A truck driving experience to begin a lucrative and fulfilling career. The apprenticeship program is structured to ensure a 96 percent success rate for CDL license passes, demonstrating the effectiveness of their training methods. During training, apprentices are guaranteed $900 gross weekly pay, which begins immediately after passing the CDL-A exam. Additionally, the potential annual earnings for drivers can range between $75,000 and $150,000, making this a competitive and rewarding career path.

This apprenticeship position encourages candidates to choose their preferred career path after gaining their CDL license, offering options such as solo or team OTR driving roles, as well as opportunities for both lease and company drivers. Wilson Logistics supports its drivers with medical, dental, vision, short-term disability, life insurance, and 401(k) benefits to ensure comprehensive care and financial protection. Paid vacation time underscores the company’s commitment to work-life balance.

Prospective apprentices are required to have a clean and safe driving record, a stable employment history, and pass the CDL-A exam to qualify for this role. There is an expectation to enter a 1-year contract as part of the paid CDL training program, which excludes truck school graduates, making it an ideal opportunity for motivated individuals who want to earn their CDL certification through hands-on, practical training. The company sets itself apart by offering a truly supportive environment, where drivers are valued and encouraged to grow their skills and careers within a family-oriented company culture.

Choosing Wilson Logistics for your trucking career means access to professional CDL training, financial stability during training and early career phases, plus long-term growth potential with one of the leading trucking companies committed to driver success. If you are ready to launch a career on the road that offers meaningful earnings and comprehensive benefits, Wilson Logistics provides the platform and support you need to succeed.
