Sacrificing pay for home time is a good pay out to me. I’m 23 getting to go home and live my life after working. I love it. Great career, this young, I’ve surpassed friends even though I could go beyond and travel OTR for much more. Love the industry
I want the physically demanding work and being local sounds way better, I don’t want to rot in a truck doing otr. I hope I can get some food delivery job starting out
I upgraded my Class B to a Class A in April 2022. I jumped from a few companies during that time & the company I stuck with & don’t plan on leaving is Fedex Freight. I got in at a good time when they were offering top pay for new drivers that either had their CLP & went through their Driver development program, had their class A but no experience but went through their DD program or had 1 year of experience. That top pay window has passed so now you will start with entry level pay and get top pay after 2-3 years Top pay is 35$ (get raise each year) Starting pay is 29-30$ It’s a great company the managers give a fuck, dispatchers know what they’re doing and they try their best to make everyone happy Here are a few local companies that pay relatively the same, most of these guys require 1yr of experience some would let you slide if you go through their DD programs R&L carriers Requirements: all 3 endorsements. 1 year experience Estes freight Requirements: same as above or go through their DD program Old dominion Requirements: same as above or go through their DD program if you have your CLP or no experience YRC freight (they don’t pay the same) Requirements: same as above or go through their DD program if you have your CLP or no experience Penske trucking Requirements: 1yr experience Marten transport Requirements: 4 months experience HMD trucking Requirements: 6 months experience XPO logistics Requirements: 1 year experience, all 3 endorsements or go through their DD program, if you have your CLP or No experience.

Warning on the companies that offer DD programs aka pay for your CDL, you will have to work for them for a certain amount of time (1 year) to keep your CDL so basically if you quit or get fired before that year they can take away your CDL or you have to pay them the money back that they put into training you. A guy did this at FedEx (he no called no show purposely) and they reported it to the IRS and now he won’t see another refund check until the full 13k is paid.

Another option to think about with no experience is local beer/liquor delivery drivers, it's one of the more physically demanding careers but most start you in the mid $20's
I was a single mom and looking into getting my CDL because I love driving and trying to find a job that pays enough where I live has been hard. I absolutely love traveling, but because of my kids I'd feel guilty leaving them too long if I went OTR, so I'm glad to have seen this information.
You can start off with FedEx, UPS, XPO logistics, Schneider or CR England. They have local driving positions and they'll train you and help you get your CDL.
Where you located? I in trucking hub of the NE and after CDL school it was nonstop recruiters. Get into a Teamster union for local, but they ain't gonna train you. If you want one that trains you, you gonna gonna go OTR if not in a hotspot for carriers.
@Jim Douglas I'm in Dallas, Texas. I got my CDL through FedEx Express and I've never been over the road, I've never even slept in a truck. Although the only long hauling I did was within a 250 mile radius and I was still home everyday. Yeah most companies that train their new drivers start them off as OTR but there are some companies that can start you off local and help you get your CDL.
@@lHeartApple Nice I might look into them. I in Carlisle,PA which is a big trucking hub. Also the state paid for my CDL school so she may want to see if there is any programs like that available as well
I got sent to a community college that offered CDL training here(HACC in PA), you might want to look into what your state has to offer. I went through PA careerlink to get my training for free in 2017. At least that way you not stuck to one company, because believe me the recruiters will tell you what you want to hear vs real life driving for some of these carriers. At least that gives you freedom to shop around a bit, and most good schools are flooded with offers. I had over 20 offers when graduated. Being a single mom I sure you would qualify for what your state offers
I've done both local and OTR, and they both have their pros and cons. The pros of being local are that you're home every day and get to eat home cooked meals, can shower without paying for it, not having to find a place to park, and sleeping in a warm bed. But the cons are you make less money, you're under constant and close supervision by the fleet managers, you have to commute back and forth to work every day, and it gets tedious going to the same places and seeing the same scenery day after day. Plus, you don't have a lot of time to yourself. You're still working 12 to 14 hour days and have to get enough sleep to do it all over again every day, and some places don't give you weekends off. You work until your 70 runs out, but they expect you back the second your 34-hour reset is done
@@_GR2xactly. I'm local, I start at 5:30 am and am done between 2:30 and 3:30 everyday. There's a longer day here and there but I rarely work that 12 hour day. Never 14. 14 hours is insane. All drop and hooks and live unloads. No manual labor.
I must add that most local companies work you like a slave. I lucked up. I did local, hourly LTL before, that wasn't bad. Some LTL companies work long days and some don't.
Thank you I’m glad it was helpful. Yea it can be a challenge because a lot of people are trying to get the same job so unfortunately it does take some patience
Yes I can agree I been a CDL holder since 2019 and literally they all want 1-2yr experience otr. I drove for crst & Pam they will treat you like crap and as a 26yr old I ha e 2 children. I need something local or rural where I can be home daily. I wish someone would give me a chance
Diesel delivery driver in Massachusetts/Connecticut area. Hourly. $21 - $35 an hour. Only need a class B and be able to drive a 10 speed dual axle. They do have autos also. Time and a half, double time Sundays if you choose to work. Delivery to construction sites, and work is demanding fueling construction equipment. Pros are that if you're younger it keeps you in shape and is far healthier than sitting in a semi 11 hours a day. We make far more than almost any Class A freight hauler and are home every day at 3pm. Thank for the video Mr. Gene!
$21-$35 has a little bit of range. Would you say that it's mainly the folks who have already been there for years who are making closer to $35? Or is it one of those things where some companies pay more than others?
The best paying jobs for CSL-Bs in my area have consistently been fuel delivery. You need HazMat and Tanker endorsements, a clean record and clean urine.
I got my CDL over a year ago and have been working for Coca Cola for over a year to get experience plus they were the only company willing to hire me right after graduation for home daily jobs. It’s brutal and definitely a soul crushing job. Hoping to find a better paying home daily job soon.
Dude me too. I’ve only been here for 4 months and it is indeed crushing my soul. Just remember it’s a delivery job more than a trucking job. We’re gonna make it out. Keep your head up man
60 to 65K a year without killing myself is all I need to be home daily and work an average of 10hrs.. I am good with that. trying to make 80 or 90 to be killing myself is not worth it in my opinion. Health is wealth. there is no trade off for that.
Folks I know I'm just some comment that you're reading but "by the hour is always best" because there will always be delays and/or whateva have you....by the hour you're getting paid for your time I'm just telling you through experience. There are instances we're getting paid by the load is good (only if its consistent!) but there will always be some kind of delay and you're not making money until you complete the load. So by the hour is always best. Trust Me on that.
These companies like to waste you time while they get out the door after 8 hrs and we out here 12 to 14hrs but paid like we out here 8. Makes no sense.
Most truckers have no time for the gym. I do foodservice and pretty much get paid to workout, home daily , great benefits and the checks are above $1300 a week net
Just got my CDL in February!! Thanks for the tips bro for sure going to look into some of those local spots💯 and I like that intro I made a song to that beat bro💪🏾
I’m really torn between going with Prime Tanker, Weekly run paid per mile or XPO doing nights paid hourly but I’m home at the end of every shift. The pay is roughly the same… Prime Tanker mean minimal-no touch. While dealing w hauling liquid as a new driver. XPO is known to demand the drivers load/unload. I’m single for now but want to get married sooner than later. I feel like in both cases I’m going to end up waiting another year till I have more normal hours. Not many local jobs in the area. I need the $$$
I'm a single mom but I started when he was older. But alot of jobs do want 6 mo otr experience to go local. I've been driving now for 3 yrs. And please get endorsements it helps.
I was otr for a while and when I went local I started making more money. Maybe I didn’t give otr a fair chance. But I recommend J.B. hunt intermodal for local
OTR is a myth if you’re a company (or lease) driver. You know why? It’s mathematically impossible to get enough miles to make good money if you’re paid by the mile. You only have 11 hours to drive. If the truck is going 65mph, the MOST you can ever do is 650 miles a day or about 3000 miles a week. Now take into account time spent getting loaded/unloaded, chasing trailers, fueling, finding parking, blah blah blah, and on your best week you’ll MAYBE do 2500 miles. If you’re paid 30-60 cents a mile, that’s literally $750-1500 a week before tax. You can work local/regional and make that easily. The difference is that you may end up doing more touch freight.
@canoncrew6697 ... Thank you so much for your advise. If don't mind me asking how much a position with JB Hunt Intermodal pays? $30 to $32 per hour? I am in Salt Lake City, thank you so much!!!
@@pacman4937 That’s crazy. They need to start paying a $1 per mile. Then it would be worth it for these men to take a job like that. Well even still it’s not really worth it. But more young men would take it to get well off wary in life.
I’m probably late for the party but I’ve been applying everywhere in Houston Tx, I can’t do OTR bc of family purposes and I even applied to a yard position and bc I dont have any OTR experience, I’m not eligible for it, even if ive been doing yard work for years lmao
Talking about heat Being a welder in south Louisiana Is no joke Then the jobs always trying to get you for the lowest rate Some of the better paying jobs are with a contractor, but almost all them are temporary and the job can end early It’s a lot of job swaps And most shops pay is low I would think driving jobs would be more plentiful Idk
i disagree with the labor intensive part. i like moving and lifting and im used to hard labor. i’ll bet my last dollar that truck labor isnt nearly as hard as people make it out to be. the only thing that would turn me off is the lower pay
As a local driver we have to do manual labor majority of the time no matter how you cut it. Some companies go overboard and the pay doesn’t warrant the level of labor
I’ve been seeing the shorter Amazon Prime trucks I’m guessing that’s a local driver job . No I’m not talking about the box trucks or vans used by the contractors , Amazon Prime ones . I plan on getting my cdl b , not interested in A wondering are those for on cdl b holders .
Same here, I started with $5,000 now earning $34,300 every 3 weeks profits with him trading program. Mr David Mark his strategies is second to none and highly profitable.
After watching so many UA-cam tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses until Mr David Mark started managing my investments now I make $10,567 weekly. God bless Mr buch Michael he’s been a blessing to my family.
The crypto market is highly profitable with an expert broker just like Mr David Mark. I got recommended to him and since then my financial life has been a success.
Yes of course he’s a good man and legit in his trading. I am going to retire in my early 40s. Having an Expert BROKER like Mr David Mark managing my investments is heartwarming. Because I don’t have to worry about fund, I just sit down and earn profits every weekend.
As a local driver just prepare for bullshit to be tossed your way for a long time. They'll say anything to get you in the door and then fuck you over day 1.
I've thought of doing trucking bc I hate being broke but really curious If it's worth it. Like I'm procrastinating like crazy about it bc the thought of driving a semi worries me a lot and also curious if the pay is really worth it. I'm considering getting a class b instead of a bc Ik I'd hate being gone all day everyday and I'm assuming with class b I'd be gone for like half the day or something like that.
Trucking can definitely be worth it especially if you are looking to change your financial situation without needing any extensive schooling. Starting out over the road you will be gone for a little while but there are local positions to have you home every night for class A or B drivers.
Hey man! Quick question for ya. I'm looking to get my CDL license for a local gig at some point. Do you recommend getting the tanker/hazmat license too? Thanks!
How long would you suggest going over the road to gain experience before apply to local jobs. Will be starting swift soon to get that experience but don’t want to stay a year Otr. From San Antonio texas
Shout out to you in SA. Check out my video “driving in downtown” it goes in detail on how long. I would generally say no less than 6 months imo but that is the bare minimum. Best of luck!
I’m looking into getting my CDL B. For a dump truck driving job. I’m not sure what a new cdl b driver makes in the Philly suburbs area for a small company roughly around 35 trucks. I’m hearing they pay about $230 a day. M-F. I’ve looked online to see but nothing is really accurate. I was going to ask a friend that works there, but I don’t get into his personal business. Can somebody tell me what I’d be looking at hourly with a CDL B LICENSE? Thanks guys.
How many hours you work will depend on the company. I worked at company where I worked for only 8-10 hours and another where 14 hours a day was almost expected. Generally speaking most local jobs start early from 12am-5am
I'm not gonna lie I don't wanna do otr but if I'm buying a house within a year I think that's a good way to go. U live in the sleeper / motel (on the companies dime and stack your money while having very minimal living expense. Other than that ill pass on the otr.
I don't see how any driving job could be considered physically strenuous. Even if you have to load the truck or strap things down and do a little bit of physical work blah blah blah. Coming from someone who's been welding for 18 years, standing on my feet for a mandatory 12 hours a day in an un air conditioned factory while wearing my welding gear for 60 hours a week. I would like to spend just 50% of the time sitting on my butt in an air conditioning truck.
I have one from over five years ago. It kept me from getting hired as an Amazon residential delivery driver last year. I have a CDL-A now and most companies don't want anything to do with me as a recent grad. think you'd want a good 7 to 10 years of clean driving record to get a better chance to start in this industry. There are lots of companies that have lower stamdards, but you might want to give it another two years, for a total of three years and see where that takes you.
The best local CD l. Jobs are prevailing wage jobs. They are roughly $70 an hour...... That's what I do...... I drive truck local for roughly speaking, $700 a day.......
Sacrificing pay for home time is a good pay out to me. I’m 23 getting to go home and live my life after working. I love it. Great career, this young, I’ve surpassed friends even though I could go beyond and travel OTR for much more. Love the industry

Is no joke
Then the jobs always trying to get you for the lowest rate
Some of the better paying jobs are with a contractor, but almost all them are temporary and the job can end early
It’s a lot of job swaps
And most shops pay is low
I would think driving jobs would be more plentiful
Idk
i disagree with the labor intensive part. i like moving and lifting and im used to hard labor. i’ll bet my last dollar that truck labor isnt nearly as hard as people make it out to be. the only thing that would turn me off is the lower pay
As a local driver we have to do manual labor majority of the time no matter how you cut it. Some companies go overboard and the pay doesn’t warrant the level of labor
@@_GR2 hard labor work never pays enough
that is true bro local is way better if you wants😎 a normal life in family
I definitely agree, OTR can definitely be difficult for families.
I did 6 months at Sysco I’m looking for something better 😂😂
I’ve been seeing the shorter Amazon Prime trucks I’m guessing that’s a local driver job . No I’m not talking about the box trucks or vans used by the contractors , Amazon Prime ones . I plan on getting my cdl b , not interested in A wondering are those for on cdl b holders .
Best of luck getting your CDL! And I’m not too sure with Amazon but unless it’s a box truck or van, that’s most likely Class A
Thank you
I’m glad it was helpful for you!
My local job is 4 minutes from home
Can’t beat that!
$76,000 just in two weeks Mr David Mark greene you are so amazing.
Same here, I started with $5,000 now earning $34,300 every 3 weeks profits with him trading program. Mr David Mark his strategies is second to none and highly profitable.
After watching so many UA-cam tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses until Mr David Mark started managing my investments now I make $10,567 weekly. God bless Mr buch Michael he’s been a blessing to my family.
The crypto market is highly profitable with an expert broker just like Mr David Mark. I got recommended to him and since then my financial life has been a success.
Have been hearing about Mr David Mark and his genius mind in the crypto market also how good is he ?
Yes of course he’s a good man and legit in his trading. I am going to retire in my early 40s. Having an Expert BROKER like Mr David Mark managing my investments is heartwarming. Because I don’t have to worry about fund, I just sit down and earn profits every weekend.
As a local driver just prepare for bullshit to be tossed your way for a long time. They'll say anything to get you in the door and then fuck you over day 1.
Some local companies are definitely better than others for sure
I have CDL, please tell me which company job I should go to, work locally so that there are benefits

I've thought of doing trucking bc I hate being broke but really curious If it's worth it. Like I'm procrastinating like crazy about it bc the thought of driving a semi worries me a lot and also curious if the pay is really worth it. I'm considering getting a class b instead of a bc Ik I'd hate being gone all day everyday and I'm assuming with class b I'd be gone for like half the day or something like that.
Trucking can definitely be worth it especially if you are looking to change your financial situation without needing any extensive schooling. Starting out over the road you will be gone for a little while but there are local positions to have you home every night for class A or B drivers.
UPS drivers make six figures plus they have full benefits, pension & the whole 9yard
Hey man! Quick question for ya. I'm looking to get my CDL license for a local gig at some point. Do you recommend getting the tanker/hazmat license too? Thanks!
Absolutely! I recommend you get all of the endorsements if possible, you never know what opportunity will present itself later on. Best of luck!
How long would you suggest going over the road to gain experience before apply to local jobs. Will be starting swift soon to get that experience but don’t want to stay a year Otr. From San Antonio texas
Shout out to you in SA. Check out my video “driving in downtown” it goes in detail on how long. I would generally say no less than 6 months imo but that is the bare minimum. Best of luck!
I’m looking into getting my CDL B. For a dump truck driving job.
I’m not sure what a new cdl b driver makes in the Philly suburbs area for a small company roughly around 35 trucks. I’m hearing they pay about $230 a day. M-F. I’ve looked online to see but nothing is really accurate. I was going to ask a friend that works there, but I don’t get into his personal business. Can somebody tell me what I’d be looking at hourly with a CDL B LICENSE? Thanks guys.
I’m not too sure about Philly but down here in Texas, I’ve seen that they average about 19-20 an hr but I know up north, trucking pays more
I'm ok with all that you said working otr, it's more or less risk, man DOT , 4 wheelers, equipment, these otr just doesn't make what its worth
Some of those reasons definitely made it easier for me to go local versus staying OTR
I’m interested in getting my CDL however I do not want to drive gigantic trucks is that all they do? No vans or smaller trucks ???😢
If you get your CDL Class B you can drive smaller trucks (box trucks, dump trucks, etc.)
@@_GR2is the pay the same if i were to use box trucks instead of 18 wheeler
Is it possible to obtain a driving job with under the table pay? Not trying to be on a w2 or 1099
I personally don’t know any positions outside of w2 and 1099/owner-operator. Best of luck to you
How early do local truck drivers start work and how many hours do they work?
How many hours you work will depend on the company. I worked at company where I worked for only 8-10 hours and another where 14 hours a day was almost expected. Generally speaking most local jobs start early from 12am-5am
I'm not gonna lie I don't wanna do otr but if I'm buying a house within a year I think that's a good way to go. U live in the sleeper / motel (on the companies dime and stack your money while having very minimal living expense. Other than that ill pass on the otr.
I fully agree. If you have zero overhead and don’t have rent or other utilities, you can definitely stack some money up.
I don't see how any driving job could be considered physically strenuous. Even if you have to load the truck or strap things down and do a little bit of physical work blah blah blah.
Coming from someone who's been welding for 18 years, standing on my feet for a mandatory 12 hours a day in an un air conditioned factory while wearing my welding gear for 60 hours a week.
I would like to spend just 50% of the time sitting on my butt in an air conditioning truck.
Every where i apply they reject me cause of a year old accident. Any recommendations?
You might have to go to a company that is more flexible with the driving history, possibly as an independent contractor
I have one from over five years ago. It kept me from getting hired as an Amazon residential delivery driver last year. I have a CDL-A now and most companies don't want anything to do with me as a recent grad. think you'd want a good 7 to 10 years of clean driving record to get a better chance to start in this industry. There are lots of companies that have lower stamdards, but you might want to give it another two years, for a total of three years and see where that takes you.
6month to a year for a local where are u finding local
The best local CD l. Jobs are prevailing wage jobs. They are roughly $70 an hour...... That's what I do......
I drive truck local for roughly speaking, $700 a day.......
What are there locations?
Whats the company you work from? Is hourly pay?
At this job I got paid $25/hr and it was a electric supply company
