Job Type: Full-Time | Driver Trainer / Mentor
Experience Required: CDL-A with minimum training eligibility
Why This Job Stands Out:

Tired of getting paid for only your miles? As a Driver Mentor, you'll earn for every single mile the truck drives - whether it's you or your student behind the wheel. That means more pay, faster while helping new drivers launch their careers.
Pay & Bonuses:
  • Weekly Base Pay: $1,225 - $1,455 (before any bonuses)
  • Base CPM + Tiered Pay Scale (experience-based)
  • + $0.10 CPM while training
  • + $0.04 CPM productivity bonus
  • Bonuses after student milestones:
    • $500 after 10K safe miles
    • $300 after 20K safe miles
  • Elite Mentor Rewards: After 6 students trained, earn $0.01 CPM for every mile they drive in their 1st solo year
Mentor Program Structure:
  • Runs average 11 days OTR (NOT 3-4 weeks out like other mentor roles)
  • Students must drive minimum 5 hours per day - you can maximize the rest of the 14-hour clock
  • Flexible breaks: Take a week off or run solo between students
  • Paid Development Training: $850 completion pay + extra bonuses for student pickup/dispatch
Professional Mentor Development
  • NextGen Mentor Training Program (hotel & meals provided)
  • Online training checklist for smoother mentoring
  • Structured system designed to set mentors & students up for success
• What You Get:
  • Paid on all truck miles (driver + student)
  • Priority loads & dispatch
  • Bonus programs that stack with CPM
  • Long-term passive earnings from your trained students
  • Medical, Dental, Vision + 401(k) w/ company match
  • Paid holidays, vacation, and wage increases
Requirements:
  • CDL-A License (clean record required)
  • At least 3+ months driving experience (mentor-eligible)
  • Must pass DOT drug screen & background check
  • Professional attitude & ability to coach new drivers
