Driving jobs

[SarahsGMC]

I'm looking into doing straight truck driving or some sort of delivery in state to start. I've always wanted to drive truck for the fact I love driving and I'd rather spend my day on the road rather than dealing with people in my shop/destroying my hands... So I'm asking how do you start out and what all do I need to do? Keep in mind I'm not doing long haul, I know some places pay for Cdl and training but not sure where to start and what to expect as starting pay/hours.

Take it upon yourself to get your CDL. The less the company has to put into you the better your odds.

If you are wanting to truck around, you can work locally at a distribution center like coke or any beer company, you will just be delivering beverages around town and such.

That'd be cool, I've been looking into straight truck we have a few drivers that regularly make trips back and forth between my shop and distributors

Got a Coca cola distribution center near by? I hear they are great to work for and do the local delivery business.

Dealing with people on the road can be rough too.. I've had my class A since 2000 and I drive every now and then for fun.... untill the stupid little ricers cut me off and send my blood pressure through the roof.

 

What an I saying. You'll have a great time.

The hot shots I've dealt with aren't local. We run Bakersfield CA to Myton UT and in the reverse

My uncle wanted to do that and have me do the driving. I told him to buy me a Denali HD dually and a goose neck trailer and I'll drive where I'm needed to make money

Running a concrete mixer is always local, and usually pays well above average. I'm always looking for drivers if you wanna re-locate waaaay north.

[SarahsGMC]

How far north is way north? I'd like to bring in 500+ a week after taxes right now I'm making just under 400 after taxes on 40 hours
