Description:

We’re hiring a Truck Driver Trainee — no prior freight experience needed, just a valid license, a responsible attitude, and the desire to build a real career behind the wheel. You don’t need experience — just a valid license, a clean record, and the willingness to show up, learn fast, and take responsibility seriously. We know many people want a fresh start, and that’s why our program is structured to build your skills step-by-step with real mentorship, not just theory. You’ll be shown how to plan routes, manage schedules, and avoid the small mistakes that become big delays out on the highway. You’ll learn how to secure cargo, fill out proper paperwork, and communicate with dispatch clearly and professionally. You’ll get hands-on experience with pre-trip and post-trip inspections, including what to look for, what to log, and when to call it out. You’ll get familiar with rest stops, safe fueling, truck checks, and how to speak up if something’s not right — even if English isn’t your first language. You’ll take your first solo deliveries when you’re ready — not rushed — and you’ll know what’s expected before you ever turn the key. You’ll learn how to talk with dispatch, use maps or GPS the right way, and avoid mistakes that happen when you're rushed or unsure.

Basic Qualifications:

• Load and unload cargo as required—ensuring proper weight distribution, secure fastening, and damage prevention.
• Maintain professionalism and reliability—showing up on time and representing the company well at each stop.
• Assist in training new drivers or mentoring junior team members on safe and efficient driving practices.
• Coordinate with warehouse and logistics teams to ensure accurate pickups, inventory handling, and returns.
• Operate commercial trucks to transport goods safely and efficiently over local, regional, or long-haul routes.

Preferred:

• Physically fit and able to load, unload, or secure cargo when required.
• Values professionalism, consistency, and safety on every delivery.
• Respects safety rules, traffic laws, and loading dock protocols at all times.
• Thrives in solo work environments with responsibility and independence.
• Comfortable driving in varying weather, road, and traffic conditions.

Benefits:

• Modern, well-maintained trucks with the features drivers actually want.
• Driver referral bonuses — bring a buddy, get paid.
• We celebrate safety milestones — and reward them, too.
• Access to roadside support that actually picks up when you call.
• Flexible routes — want regional or coast-to-coast? Your call.

Once your training phase is complete, we guarantee you a full-time driving contract with stable routes, legal hours, and fair compensation. You’ll experience your first solo runs — with backup always one call away, and a team ready to help if anything goes wrong. You’ll be respected as part of the team from day one — because we know everyone starts somewhere, and your commitment is what counts. You’ll be part of a company that promotes from within — many of our senior drivers, team leads, and dispatchers started in this very program. You’ll build pride in doing things right: showing up on time, delivering cleanly, driving safely, and being known as someone who can be counted on. You’ll learn not just how to drive — but how to be respected for your reliability, punctuality, and attention to every kilometer you cover. You’ll gain confidence, technical skill, and steady income — with a contract waiting when you’re ready to sign. If you’re looking for real training, real support, and a real job at the end — not just another promise — this is your first mile.
