CDL-A Truck Driver

If you live in Aliquippa, Ambridge or anywhere in Beaver County, this regional dry van fleet can put you to work whether your CDL is one week old or ten years old. The freight runs the eastern half of the country, you average $1,200 to $1,400 a week, and you are home every two weeks. New drivers train first at $850 a week, which is above the usual training rate.

Your paycheck

Solo drivers run about 2,500 miles a week. Mileage pay is $0.55 to $0.65 per mile based on verifiable experience, and a performance bonus plan pays on top. Extra stops pay $15. New solo drivers are covered by a $1,000 weekly guarantee for their first three months.
