• $1000 to $1700 a week once solo
• 1600 to 2000 miles a week; drivers average about 1900

Your week

Midwest freight close to home: drop and hook live loads live unloads and preloads. Day and night dispatch loads planned for you. Your weekends are at home.

From CDL school to your own truck

1. A recruiter calls you and reviews your CDL and driving record with you.
2. Orientation 2 days at most. Hotel paid one-way bus ticket reimbursed $300 for orientation once hired.
3. 4 to 6 weeks with a mentor: backing trip planning logs and fueling. You are paid every week.
4. Your own assigned truck about 1.5 years old on average automatic or 10-speed. For your first 3 months solo your pay will not drop below $1000 a week.
