No Experience Required — Start Earning Immediately

If you’re ready to launch a long-term trucking career, our CDL-A trainee program serving drivers in and around the Memphis, Tennessee metro area offers paid training, one-on-one mentorship, and a direct path to a full-time solo driving position with consistent weekly income and nationwide freight.

This program is built for new CDL-A holders and recent CDL school graduates who want stability, professional support, and real career growth — not a short-term trainee seat.

  • Mileage Pay (Post-Training): $0.43–$0.51 CPM (based on experience)

  • Equipment: Assigned late-model automatic tractor after solo qualification

Drivers are paid weekly, and most trainees transition to solo status quickly once training benchmarks are met.

  • Freight Type: No-touch dry van freight

  • Load Types: Mix of drop & hook and live load/unload

Why This CDL-A Trainee Program Works

Once upgraded, drivers benefit from:

  • Assigned equipment

What Happens After Training

After completing the trainee phase, drivers are upgraded to a solo OTR position . Most drivers experience steady weekly miles and reliable income shortly after upgrading, with opportunities to continue advancing within the fleet.
