CDL CLASS A INSTRUCTOR
NEO Truck Driver Training is seeking an experienced Class A CDL driver who is ready to share their knowledge and help train the next generation of professional truck drivers.
Let's face it—after years on the road, you've probably met drivers who made you think, "Who taught this guy?" Here's your chance to be part of the solution.
If you're looking to get off the road, spend more time at home, and make a lasting impact on future drivers, we'd like to hear from you.
POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES
• Train students in pre-trip inspections, backing maneuvers, range exercises, and on-road driving
• Prepare students for CDL skills and knowledge testing
• Monitor student progress and provide coaching and support as needed
• Maintain accurate training records and required documentation
• Promote safety, professionalism, and industry best practices
• Work closely with staff to ensure a positive training experience
REQUIREMENTS
• Valid Class A CDL
• Minimum 3 years of recent Class A tractor-trailer driving experience
• Manual transmission experience required
• Clean driving record
• Ability to pass background screening and drug testing
• Strong communication, leadership, and mentoring skills
• Desire to help students succeed
WHAT WE OFFER
• Competitive hourly pay
• Monday through Friday daytime schedule (primarily a 4-day work week)
• Home every night (in time for dinner)
• Shared-cost medical benefits
• Paid holidays
• Paid vacation after one year of service
• Supportive team environment
• Stable, year-round employment
• Opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the trucking industry
At NEO Truck Driver Training, we take pride in preparing students for successful careers in commercial driving. We are looking for an instructor who is professional, patient, safety-minded, and committed to helping students reach their goals.
Let's be honest—teaching isn't for everyone. You'll answer the same questions more than once, demonstrate backing maneuvers repeatedly, explain why grinding gears isn't a transmission feature, and occasionally hear a student say, "But that's not how my uncle taught me." If you're patient, dependable, and enjoy helping people learn, you'll fit right in.
WHO SUCCEEDS HERE
• Drivers who enjoy teaching and mentoring others
• Drivers who are patient, professional, and safety-focused
• Drivers who take pride in helping students build successful careers
• Drivers who are dependable and understand that students rely on them every day
• Drivers who enjoy seeing others succeed and are willing to invest the time to help them get there
WHO USUALLY DOESN'T
• Drivers looking for a position with little interaction or responsibility
• Drivers who become frustrated repeating instructions or answering questions
• Drivers who prefer working alone all day
• Drivers who are unwilling to coach, mentor, and hold students accountable
• Drivers who are simply looking for a place to finish out their career without actively engaging with students
Your success in this role will not be measured by miles driven. It will be measured by the quality of the drivers you help put on the road.
No prior instructor experience is required. We can teach the right driver how to instruct. What we can't teach is professionalism, reliability, and a genuine desire to help students succeed.
Join NEO Truck Driver Training and help shape the next generation of professional drivers.
