Job Description

CDL-A Trainee Truck Driver | Paid Training Program | Salt Lake City, UT

No Class A Experience Required — Paid Training from Day One

If you’re a newly licensed CDL-A driver in the Salt Lake City metro area and ready to launch your trucking career the right way, this paid CDL-A trainee program offers structured on-the-road training, experienced mentorship, and a direct path to a solo OTR driving position with consistent miles and reliable weekly pay.

This is a career-focused trainee opportunity built for stability and long-term growth — not a short-term or high-turnover role.

Pay & Compensation

  • Training Pay: $650 per week for the first 4–6 weeks

  • Solo Pay After Upgrade: $1,000–$1,400+ per week

  • Mileage Pay: $0.43–$0.51 CPM after training (based on experience)

  • Stop Pay: $15 per stop once upgraded

  • Pay Frequency: Weekly direct deposit

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

Equipment & Freight

  • Assigned late-model automatic tractors after solo qualification

  • No-touch dry van freight

  • Mix of drop & hook and live load/unload

  • Nationwide freight lanes

This freight mix allows new drivers to focus on learning, safety, and building confidence.

Schedule & Operating Area

  • OTR Schedule: 12–14 days out with a 34-hour home reset

  • Operating Area: 48-state OTR after training

  • Home Base: Salt Lake City, UT metro region

This is a true over-the-road position designed to build experience and consistency.

Program Requirements

  • Valid CDL-A license (recent graduates encouraged)

  • Willingness to run OTR for two consecutive weeks

  • Must live within 200 miles of Salt Lake City, UT

  • Strong commitment to safety, reliability, and professionalism

Who This Program Is a Fit For

  • Recent CDL school graduates

  • Entry-level CDL-A drivers

  • Drivers seeking their first full-time OTR position

  • Individuals focused on long-term trucking careers

This Program Is Not For

  • Drivers seeking local or home-daily routes

  • Part-time or short-term driving positions

  • Drivers unwilling to operate OTR

Clear expectations ensure better outcomes for everyone involved.

After Training

Upon completion of the trainee phase, drivers are upgraded to a solo OTR driving position with assigned equipment, consistent dispatch, and steady weekly miles. Most drivers see predictable pay shortly after upgrading.
