Job Description

New CDL-A Drivers: Get Paid OTR Training & Weekly Pay | Louisville, KY

If you’re a newly licensed CDL-A driver in the Louisville area and want a professional, structured start—not a churn-and-burn trainee seat—this paid over-the-road training program is built to give you confidence, consistent miles, and dependable pay from day one.

This is a career-builder, not a short-term seat filler.


Pay & Earnings

  • Paid Training: $650 per week for 4–6 weeks
  • Solo Pay After Upgrade: $1,000–$1,400+ per week
  • Mileage Pay: $0.43–$0.51 CPM (experience based)
  • Stop Pay: $15 per stop once solo
  • Pay Schedule: Weekly direct deposit

Most drivers upgrade to solo quickly once training requirements are met.


Equipment & Freight

  • Assigned late-model automatic tractors after upgrade
  • No-touch dry van freight
  • Mix of drop & hook and live load/unload
  • Steady nationwide freight lanes

The focus is simple: learn the job the right way, safely, without unnecessary pressure.


Schedule & Operating Area

  • OTR Schedule: 12–14 days out with a 34-hour home reset
  • Operating Area: Lower 48 states after training
  • Driver Base: Louisville, KY and surrounding areas

This role is designed to build strong, verifiable OTR experience with reliable miles.


Program Requirements

  • Valid CDL-A license (recent graduates encouraged)
  • Able to stay out two consecutive weeks OTR
  • Must live within 200 miles of Louisville, KY
  • Safety-focused, reliable, and coachable

Who This Program Is Best For

  • Recent CDL school graduates
  • Entry-level CDL-A drivers
  • Drivers looking for their first stable OTR position
  • People serious about a long-term trucking career

Not a Fit If You’re Looking For

  • Local or home-daily driving
  • Part-time or short-term work
  • Regional-only routes

Clear expectations save everyone time.


After Training

Once upgraded, drivers receive assigned equipment, consistent dispatch, and predictable weekly pay. You focus on building experience—not chasing miles.
