Amazon's program, in partnership with First Team Trucking and 160Driving Academy, subsidizes CDL-A (Class A Commercial Driving License) training. This means learners don't need to worry about tuition fees.
โ The added benefit of earning $14 per hour during training ensures that financial concerns do not stand in the way of entering the trucking industry. For many, this approach opens doors to a career path they might not have otherwise considered.
The six-week training program is designed for maximum efficiency and skill development. Trainees receive:
This combination of theory and practical experience prepares graduates to meet all Department of Transportation requirements and excel as professional drivers. ๐ก

โ This structure allows individuals to focus on acquiring new skills without worrying about lost wages. The paid learning model not only makes the transition into trucking smoother but also attracts a broader range of candidates seeking stable income during their training phase.
Upon successful completion of the program and receipt of a Class A CDL, drivers have opportunities to join Amazon delivery teams, with potential for pay increases. Positions typically offer:
