    Job Description

    Northwest Indiana Class A drivers: a seat that keeps you close to home, most weekends off, and pays new grads to learn.

    If you want to run and still be home on weekends, this region is built for it. Most drivers are a day from home or less. New CDL-A? You'll train with a mentor first, paid, and there's a monthly bonus and a path to owner-operator or trainer once you're rolling.

    What you'll earn

    • $1,100 to $1,700 a week, about $57,200 to $88,400 a year
    • Starts at $0.56 a mile and climbs with tenure toward $0.65
    • 1,700 to 2,400 miles a week
    • $15 for each stop except the first and last
    • Monthly performance bonus; paid weekly

    Your week

    OTR lanes out of the Gary area, mostly drop-and-hook with some live work. Flexible home time — want to be home every weekend, or stay out longer for more miles? Both work here. Same regional planner every week.
