After training, drivers can earn $1600–$1800 weekly with full benefits.

What you'll be doing
Complete a 4–6 week paid mentor training period that includes learning day-to-day driving routines, working with an experienced driver, and preparing to transition into solo driving.
Drive with your mentor while assisting with pickups and deliveries and learning how to manage loads safely and efficiently.
Follow safe driving practices, complete required checks, and build good habits for professional over-the-road operations.
