Qualified CDL-A holders from across the United States may apply for Lightning Transport's driver training pathway. Training and fleet operations are based from our Cliffwood, New Jersey yard; applicants do not need to live in New Jersey.

Have A CDL But No Experience?

Many carriers want previous professional driving experience. Lightning Transport has a training pathway for qualified CDL-A holders who have not had the opportunity to build that experience.

Your CDL-A must have been held for at least two years because of our insurance requirements. That is not the same thing as requiring two years of driving experience.

A Different Opportunity

🎓

Newer Drivers

Have a CDL-A but never had a real trucking job? You may still qualify if your license meets our two-year insurance requirement.

🛣️

Real OTR Training

You train in an actual Lightning truck with an instructor rather than trying to figure out professional trucking on your own.

📋

Individual Review

All applicants must meet our insurance, safety and hiring requirements. We look at the actual applicant rather than relying only on a generic experience requirement.
