Driver trainer

Interested in mentoring and training new drivers? Our driver training program might be the perfect role for you. Teach new drivers the ins and outs of truck driving and how to stay safe on the road while earning additional income. Aaron Kane, one of our driver trainers, says it isn’t really the money that makes being a driver trainer worthwhile, but rather the ability to teach the next generation of drivers.

“I do this so that drivers will be taught the right way at Carter, just like I was taught,” he says. “I will have to share the road with these future drivers as well as other motorists and it is crucial that these trainees get the skill set needed to do this on their own.”

All Carter Express drivers enjoy competitive pay, frequent home time and state-of-the-art equipment. In order to drive for Carter, applicants must be at least 21 years old, have a current CDL-A or qualify for our training program, verifiable 3-year work history, and an acceptable motor vehicle report.
