About Entry Level Trucking Jobs

Every successful trucking career begins by obtaining your commercial driver’s license. But when you go to apply for a truck driving job, many of them will require at least 3 months to one year of experience. This can make it seem impossible to get a position right out of school. But, don’t be discouraged! There are plenty of entry level trucking jobs to go for, you just need to look a little harder.

Going to CDL School Can Help

Many top trucking companies offer positions with company paid training, and others will hire a driver with no experience as long as they have graduated from an approved CDL training school.

Get Company Paid Training

During company paid training, drivers will spend 4-9 weeks in training and finish by driving as a team with their trainers/mentors. The trucking company needs to be confident in your skills as a solo or team driver before you go it alone.

Example Job with Company Paid Training

Most entry level trucking jobs available are for over the road or regional routes. Since most new drivers will learn the majority of their skills in these first few years, it is important to develop habits that will ensure a long-term career in trucking.
