FAQ
Training

As a fresh CDL driver, it is feasible to get truck driving jobs despite the somewhat greater difficulty.

If you put in the necessary work and apply to a lot of trucking businesses, it's almost difficult NOT to be able to acquire a driving job because of the lack of truck drivers.

When you apply for a driving job, do truck driving firms tell you this?

Do you frequently receive this response when you apply for truck driving employment as a freshly qualified truck driver?

How to Find Work as a Truck Driver Without Experience?

Here are six strategies to find no experience truck job if you recently received your commercial driver's license while building up your résumé.

Apply to MANY different carriers. Applying to as many trucking businesses as you can is the most crucial thing to keep in mind in this situation. Your chances of obtaining a driving position increase as you submit applications to more employers.

The Mega Carriers, indeed. You might need to look for some of the bigger trucking firms, even if they might not be your first option. You are aware of them, the huge airlines.

Look for jobs as a truck driver, not a tractor-trailer driver. As a freshly certified CDL driver, there is another method to go about gaining some driving experience.

There are always truckers that operate non-tractor trailer trucks. They frequently search for drivers and some even offer truck driving jobs with CDL training.

Straight trucks, dump trucks used by construction businesses, plow and gravel trucks used by township and county highway departments, service trucks used by railroads, and delivery trucks used by lumber yards.

If you sit down and actually look around, the list is limitless.

You may operate any of these vehicles thanks to your CDL license. They're excellent positions for accumulating knowledge and seat time.

In addition, because they are paid hourly, these trucking jobs nearly typically pay higher than the typical OTR driver position or the entry-level truck driving job.

A pension plan is even offered with many of these positions. A really wonderful benefit.

It's also noteworthy to note that a lot of OTR transportation firms respect the prior truck driving experience and consider it as prior driving expertise in big commercial vehicles.

The fact that the truck was not a tractor-trailer is frequently unimportant to the employing trucking businesses.

Commercial drivers with experience are wanted. You'd be OK to go if, for instance, you've been operating a dump truck for some time without an incident.

This is an excellent method to strengthen your CV while gaining experience and seat time. Additionally, you could discover that the advantages of greater money and having a regular schedule at home will ultimately meet your demands and be preferable to OTR employment.

  • a proprietor/independent broker. If you're lucky, you could come across a self-employed owner-operator who can help you obtain work as a driver.
  • programs for apprenticeships. For newly licensed drivers, several trucking firms provide apprenticeship programs. Larger businesses with their own finishing schools include Arnold Brothers and Bison, where they send new truck drivers to learn the proper way to drive.
Accepting the Offers Made

You must be willing to accept a driving position that is less than ideal.

Be not disheartened. Lack of prior driving experience is a roadblock to landing a truck driving position, but it may be overcome.
