CDL Class A Instructor Trainer

As a CDL Class A Instructor Trainer, you will teach students from their first pre-trip inspection to the day they pass their CDL exam. You will be based at a designated yard, working alongside a team of instructors and a Lead Instructor. You will be responsible for keeping the yard clean and presentable, and may be asked to fill in at other regional yards when coverage is needed.

What You Will Do

Teach Class A driving skills using hands-on training in outdoor yards on automatic and manual transmissions. Guide students step-by-step through pre-trip inspections, yard maneuvers, and on-road driving. Prepare students to pass CDL testing standards on the first attempt.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This is a 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. You will have opportunities for annual merit increases to hourly wage based on business performance, and a monthly bonus pool payout when your yard averages an 80% first-time pass rate.
