Home Weekly Trucking for No Experience / Student Drivers

Home weekly trucking jobs offer a middle ground between local and OTR driving. You typically run regional routes within 500-800 miles of your home terminal Monday through Friday, returning home on weekends. This schedule appeals to drivers who want higher miles and pay than local work but still want consistent family time.

You are either fresh out of CDL school, currently in a training program, or considering a career change into trucking. Many mega-carriers offer paid training programs that require no prior experience. This is the starting point for most professional truck drivers.

Tips

• 💡 Apply to carrier-sponsored CDL training programs from companies like CRST, Swift, or Werner — they cover tuition costs in exchange for a 1-year driving commitment.
• 💡 Get your CDL permit before applying to maximize your options. Study the CDL manual and practice at a local driving school if possible.
• 💡 Be prepared for 4-8 weeks of OTR training with a mentor driver before going solo. Use this time to learn real-world skills like backing, trip planning, and log management.
