Werner Enterprises CDL Training — Student Driver Program (Paid Training + Tuition Reimbursement, Omaha HQ)

About This Opportunity

Werner Enterprises is one of the largest trucking companies in the United States, and they are headquartered right here in Omaha. They run one of the most structured CDL training-to-employment pipelines in the industry, and it is worth knowing about whether you want to drive long-haul or just want the CDL. Here is how it works: You first attend an approved CDL-A school (Werner partners with about 800 schools across the country, including options near Omaha) to earn your CDL-A license — the school portion requires at least 160 hours of classroom and range training. After you graduate, you enroll in Werner's paid orientation and over-the-road (OTR) training program, which is based out of either their Omaha, Nebraska headquarters at 14507 Frontier Road or their Dallas, Texas facility. During this OTR training period, Werner pays you at least $650/week. After you are fully onboarded and running loads, Werner reimburses up to $15,000 of your CDL school tuition — paid out at $250/month while you are employed at Werner. First-year earning potential for Werner drivers is $45,000 or more. The trade-off: CDL school is not free upfront (Werner pays you back over time), and you are expected to stay with Werner for a period of time to receive the full reimbursement. This is a genuine earn-while-you-train pathway to a commercial driving career anchored by one of the most stable employers in the Omaha metro. Apply at werner.com/cdl-training or call 402-382-9557.
