Have your CDL-A but no driving experience yet? This is where you start. Rochester drivers can start with a Northeast fleet out of Syracuse that trains new CDL holders on the road and never sends drivers into New York City.
How You Start
Ride with an experienced driver trainer on real loads
$850 per week during training
Move into your own truck on full pay once your trainer signs off
$1,000 per week guaranteed for your first 3 months of solo driving
The Job
Dry van freight in the Northeast and New England
1,500 to 2,800 miles per week
Flexible home time: run 1,900 miles in a week and your weekend is off
Mostly drop and hook, some live loads and unloads
Pay
Average weekly earnings of $1,300 to $2,000
55 cents per mile to start, plus 1 cent for every year with the company, up to 65 cents
Benefits
Medical, dental and vision after 30 days

Two Ways to Start
CDL-A in hand, no experience: 120+ hours from an accredited CDL school. Paid training with a driver trainer, paid every week while you learn.
