01 / HOW IT WORKSFROM FIRST CALL TO NEXT MILE

The details
make the
difference.

See the whole process ↗
  1. 01

    Tell us what matters.

    Apply online or call. Start with your experience, home base and the kind of driving you want.

  2. 02

    Have a real conversation.

    A recruiter usually calls back within 15-20 minutes during staffed hours. We go through your priorities and qualifications.

  3. 03

    Compare the details.

    Pay rates, home time schedule, equipment models, and average weekly miles: we give you the real deal up front, not after you sign. Ask about deductions before choosing a carrier.

  4. 04

    Choose your next route.

    We help with the next steps. Start dates depend on your paperwork and the carrier’s requirements.

OPEN POSITIONSAll open positions ↗

Open positions and pay ranges.

Company driver

CPM means cents per mile: 70-80 CPM is 70 to 80 cents for every mile you drive. “% of the gross” is a percentage of the load’s gross revenue.

Pay ranges reported by our partner carriers, updated November 2026. Your rate depends on the carrier, lane, experience and driving record, and is not guaranteed. We confirm the exact numbers with you before you choose.

Other ways to drive

No numbers here: every one of these depends on the carrier and the truck, so we go through the details on the call.

Team driving is available on request, for any of these. Tell us if you want to drive as a team.

02 / WHAT TO COMPAREKnow before you go ↗

A bigger number isn’t the whole offer.

  1. 01

    Pay

    What reaches your paycheck?

    Ask how pay is calculated, which miles count and what deductions apply.

  2. 02

    Home time

    What does the schedule mean?

    Get the actual time out and time home. Make sure it works with your life.

  3. 03

    Equipment

    What will you be driving?

    Ask about equipment, maintenance and the support available when plans change.

03 / STRAIGHT FROM USWHAT YOU WON’T HEAR FROM US

What we
don’t do.

  1. WE DON’T

    Sell you a lease as a shortcut

    A lease-purchase is not a shortcut to owning a truck, and we won’t present it as one.

  2. WE DO

    Go through the lease with you

    The weekly payment, the deductions, and what you’re left with if you walk away.

  3. WE DON’T

    Quote best-case miles

    A best-case mileage number is not a typical week, and we won’t hand it to you as one.

  4. WE DO

    Ask for the real average

    We ask the carrier for a recent account average and a slower-week example. If that data isn’t available, we tell you that.

  5. WE DO

    Go through the deduction list

    Line by line, with you, before you sign anything.

04 / WHY TTIrecruiting

Built around
the honest part.

“You get the real numbers before you commit, including the ones that don’t help us, and then you decide for yourself.”

Nate Mikic / Founder

Four years in CDL-A recruiting taught our founder where the details get lost. TTIrecruiting is built around that gap.

05 / STRAIGHT ANSWERSAll questions ↗

Before you
take the next step.

Do I really pay nothing?

Drivers do not pay TTIrecruiting to apply, speak with a recruiter or get placed. Carriers pay our placement fee; it is not taken from your paycheck. A carrier’s own pay structure and any job-related deductions are separate, and we discuss those with you before you decide. We don’t sell your information to marketers or lead brokers. Your details go to a carrier only when it’s for a match we’re actively working on for you.

How fast can I start?

Ready drivers can start in as little as 3-5 days, but a start date is not guaranteed. A recruiter usually calls back within 15-20 minutes during staffed hours. After that, timing depends on your documents, physical, drug test and the carrier’s onboarding requirements. Tell us what is ready and what you still need help with.

What if I have violations or a SAP?

Tell us about it up front. Some partner carriers consider drivers with violations or a completed SAP program, depending on the record and their requirements. A completed program does not guarantee a job. We discuss your situation and available options before you spend time on a carrier’s application.

What kind of trucks and miles?

Our 20+ partner carriers cover equipment including dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck and tanker. Actual openings, mileage and equipment depend on the carrier, location and your qualifications. Tell us your preferences so we can discuss the options that fit.
