If you already have your CDL and you want to drive for Witte Bros. and take advantage of our great pay and benefits, but you only have 3-12 months of over-the-road experience then consider taking part in the Witte Bros. driver training program. The Witte Bros. training program is designed to prepare a new driver for success with a hyper focus on safety. Witte Bros. offers paid training, so you can make up to $525 a week while you are out with your trainer. The training program can last anywhere from 4-6 weeks depending on the driver’s capability.
With the Witte Bros. training program you will receive over-the-road training with a professional Witte Bros. driver performing all the tasks that will be required as a normal driver. The Witte Bros. training program will allow a new CDL-A holder to adjust to life on the road, long driving hours, and DOT compliance. Witte Bros. will match you with a hand-picked trainer to help guide and coach you as a new driver. The relationship between trainee and trainer will continue on after your training has ended.
Being successful as a trainee is solely dependent on you because you, your trainer, and Witte’s safety department must agree that you are ready for solo dispatch.

- Be at least 21 years old

- Must be able to pass a standard DOT physical and DOT drug test
- In the past three years have:
