Job Description

CDL-A Trainee Truck Driver | Paid Training Available | Indianapolis, IN

No Class A 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 Indianapolis, Indiana 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.

Pay Breakdown

  • Training Pay (First 4–6 Weeks): $650 per week

  • Solo Driver Pay After Upgrade: $1,000–$1,400+ weekly

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

  • Stop Pay: $15 per stop once upgraded

  • 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.

Route & Schedule Details

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

  • Freight Type: No-touch dry van freight

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

  • Running Area: 48-state OTR after training

  • Home Base: Indianapolis, IN metro region

This position is designed to help new drivers gain real over-the-road experience while running consistent freight.

Program Requirements

  • Valid CDL-A license (recent graduates encouraged to apply)

  • Willingness to run OTR for two consecutive weeks

  • Must live within 200 miles of Indianapolis, IN

  • Commitment to safety, reliability, and long-term career growth

Who This Program Is For

This CDL-A trainee position is ideal for drivers who:

  • Recently completed CDL school

  • Are looking for their first OTR driving opportunity

  • Want paid training with structured mentorship

  • Are focused on building a long-term trucking career

This Program Is NOT For

  • Drivers seeking local or home-daily positions

  • Drivers unwilling to run OTR

  • Drivers looking for short-term or part-time work

Clear expectations upfront help ensure success for both drivers and dispatch.

Why This CDL-A Trainee Program Works

You earn pay from day one, receive structured real-world training, and upgrade quickly into a solo role with consistent miles and income. This is a true career-start program , not a dead-end trainee seat.

Once upgraded, drivers benefit from:

  • Assigned equipment

  • Predictable dispatch

  • Nationwide freight availability

  • Ongoing support from experienced operations teams

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.
