Most Utah CDL-A company drivers earn between $60,000 and $90,000 a year, depending on miles, freight type, and experience. At Doug Andrus, a driver running 3,000+ miles a week at $0.53–$0.74 per mile earns roughly $1,600–$2,200 a week before extras like layover, detention, and per diem — call it $83,000 to $115,000 a year at consistent miles.

A Class A CDL is one of the few credentials that gets you to $60K–$90K without a degree or years of unpaid apprenticeship, and demand along the I-15 corridor has held steady.

No. We hire drivers who live in Salt Lake City, West Valley, West Jordan, Sandy, Murray, and across the Wasatch Front, and we route runs so resets happen at home.
Most drivers run 6–10 days out and take their reset at home. If you're in Salt Lake, that means home in Salt Lake — not a hotel near a terminal.
Yes — and West Jordan, Murray, Draper, Taylorsville, South Jordan, and Riverton. If you can get to your truck, we can build a run around where you live.
