Southwest has applications for all of the major motor carriers who hire out of Arizona. We can get you hired before you graduate! These positions usually consist of driving 48 states, and being away from home 3 - 4 weeks at a time. The first year earning potential is $35,000+ and $60,000+ the second year, depending on your carrier choice.
Regional / 11 Western Positions
These positions are offered by the same companies that hire OTR drivers, but without East coast runs. An average driver will be out 2 - 3 weeks, with home time being 1 - 1 1/2 days for every week you are gone, but have the same great pay and benefits as an OTR driver.
Dedicated Route Positions
These are the prized positions that are sought after by most drivers, but usually go to drivers with at least 6 months OTR experience or more. Most drivers find that there is a waiting list with major carriers for these types of positions. However, Southwest does work with dedicated companies that will give you these types of runs upon graduation. With these types of runs, a driver will be out an average of 5 - 7 days, with 1 -2 days off between runs, and carry the same type of pay and benefits as an OTR position.
Local

Southwest Truck Driver Training currently
works with 300 - 400 local employers in Southern Arizona that hire

every night, with the rate of pay ranging from $10.00/hr - $20.00/hr
depending on the company you go to work for! Contact the Job
Placement Department for further information on any of these
positions!
