CDL-A Reefer Driver

Refrigerated freight keeps moving in every season, and that steadiness is what this regional fleet sells. You haul reefer loads between Utah, Nevada, California and the Pacific Northwest, run about 2,000 miles a week, and come home every two weeks. We hire drivers who live in Tooele, Grantsville and the west side of the Salt Lake Valley, whether you got your CDL last month or have years behind the wheel.

The short version

• Solo average: $1,200 to $1,300 a week
• Mileage pay: starting at $0.51 per mile, higher with verifiable experience
• Miles: 1,900 to 2,100 a week
• Home: every two weeks
• Training pay for new drivers: $800 a week
• New solo drivers: $1,000 weekly guarantee for the first 3 months

Where the freight goes

Regional reefer lanes connecting the Salt Lake area with Las Vegas, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Portland and the Seattle area. You learn these routes fast because you run them again and again. A monthly bonus is paid on top of miles, stops pay $15, and short loads pay extra on a sliding scale.

For new CDL drivers

You train 3 to 5 weeks (200 to 250 hours) with an experienced mentor and earn $800 every week. You need a completed truck driving school of at least 120 hours. When you are signed off, you take your own truck on the same lanes.

For experienced drivers

With 6 months or more of recent experience, you go solo right after orientation. Team positions are also open if you already drive with a partner.

First days

Orientation lasts two days or less and pays $300 once you are hired. A one-way bus ticket to orientation is reimbursed with a receipt.
