Start Your Trucking Career Right | Paid CDL-A Trainee Program | Kansas City, MO

New CDL-A License? Get Paid While You Build Real OTR Experience

If you’re a newly licensed CDL-A driver in the Kansas City metro area and want more than a short-term trainee seat, this paid CDL-A training program is designed to help you build a long-term trucking career . You’ll earn pay from day one, train with experienced professionals, and move into a solo OTR position with steady miles and dependable weekly income.

This program is built for drivers who want structure, consistency, and growth—not constant turnover.

Pay & Compensation

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

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

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

  • Stop Pay: $15 per stop once solo

  • Pay Schedule: Weekly direct deposit

Most trainees upgrade to solo quickly once all training benchmarks are completed.

Equipment & Freight

  • Assigned late-model automatic tractors after upgrade

  • 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 consistency.

Schedule & Operating Area

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

  • Operating Area: 48-state OTR after training

  • Home Base: Kansas City, MO metro region

This is a true over-the-road role built to establish experience and reliable miles.

Program Requirements

  • Valid CDL-A license (recent graduates encouraged)

  • Willingness to run OTR for two consecutive weeks

  • Must live within 200 miles of Kansas City, MO

  • Safety-focused with a professional attitude

Who This Program Is a Good 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 a Fit For

  • Drivers seeking local or home-daily routes

  • Part-time or short-term driving roles

  • Anyone unwilling to operate OTR

Clear expectations lead to better long-term success.

After Training

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