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.

  • 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.

  • 90-day probationary period to ensure adherence to safety, compliance and curriculum.
  • Assist with the transfer of trucks to repair operations and neighboring yards for use.
  • Student-centric approach to teaching with ability to exhibit patience and professionalism.
  • Ability to climb in/out of a tractor cab, sit and stand for extended periods, and demonstrate maneuvers.
  • Additional requirements that apply specific to the role may be requested.

Our Benefits
  • Medical and dental (shared expense).
  • Paid vacation: 1 week to start, 2 weeks after year 1, 3 weeks after year 2.
  • 8-hour paid day off for a full year of perfect attendance.
  • Paid day off for your birthday after 1 year of service (8 hours floating holiday)
  • $3,000 relocation benefit for moving to our locations 100+ miles away.
  • $500 referral bonus per instructor hire.
  • Branded gear (vests, hats, flashlights, gauges) and access to yard laptops.
  • Career path: Yard Instructor ? Assistant Lead Instructor ? Lead Instructor ? Regional Manager.
