About the Role
160 Driving Academy is the largest CDL training school in the country - 14 years strong, 90+ locations across 32 states, training roughly 20,000 students a year with an overall 88% average first-time pass rate. Our instructors are why.As a CDL Class A Instructor Trainer, you teach students from their first pre-trip inspection to the day they pass their CDL exam - in the yard, and behind the wheel. You will be based at a designated yard, working alongside a team of instructors and a Lead Instructor. From time to time, you may be asked to fill in at other regional yards when coverage is needed. Keeping your yard clean and presentable - light upkeep such as litter pickup, basic painting, and general tidiness - is part of the role. This is local, hands-on work for experienced Class A drivers ready to trade the long-haul life for a role that keeps you home every night and pays you for outcomes that matter.
Our Compensation
Opportunity for annual merit increases to hourly wage based on business performance.
Monthly bonus pool payout: When your yard averages an 80% first-time pass rate, every first-time pass adds $100 to a shared pool, split across the team and paid monthly. Full bonus eligibility requires a 4.7/5 average student rating.

Occasional fill in at another regional yard. There is a possibility to stay over in a hotel. Per diem paid, and mileage is paid if you are using your own vehicle.
Students depend on their instructors being present. Reliable, on-time attendance is core to the role.
