On the road
Loads pick up at a paper mill in Glens Falls. About 70% deliver to New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Mix of live unloads and preloaded trailers. Day shift, and you are off on the 6 company holidays. In winter you may need to chain up, and you will be shown how.
What new drivers ask most
- “Will I really be home every weekend?” Yes. You run Monday to Friday. Weekend work is voluntary.
- “What if there is no load for me?” You are paid $150 for that day.
- “My backing is rough.” That is normal. You practice for weeks with a mentor beside you first.
New CDL? Here is what happens
- You apply, a recruiter calls and reviews your license and record with you.
- Orientation, up to 2 days. Hotel provided, bus ticket reimbursed, $300 once hired.
- 4 to 6 weeks with a mentor, paid while you learn.
- Then you go solo in your own assigned truck.
You will need
- Class A CDL, 21 or older
- 120 hours from a CDL school, or 6 months of recent experience
- Up to 2 moving violations in the last 2 years, no DUI/DWI in the last 10
- DOT physical and a hair and urine drug test
After 30 days: medical, dental, vision, prescriptions, 401(k) plus stock purchase plan, paid vacation, and a free online degree for you and one family member.
