  • Class B Truck Driver

    Salary range: $42,000 - $48,000

    A Class B Truck Driver job requires candidates to have a specific type of commercial driver’s license (CDL). There are three separate types of CDL classifications, each correlating to different weights of commercial vehicle: Class A, Class B, and Class C. The Class B license means that the truck driver can only drive trucks that are a certain weight and fall into the “Class B” category and designation. These regulations may vary depending on the state, so check your state’s weight restriction limits before seeking employment. A Class B license usually means driving a single vehicle with a gross combination weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 pounds or more and towing a vehicle or trailer that is less than 10,000 lbs. Class B license holders can typically operate straight trucks, box trucks, and large passenger buses, but not tractor-trailers.

  • Entry Level Truck Driver

    Salary range: $34,000 - $38,000

    An entry-level truck driver is a student driver who is still mastering the skills of being on the road with a large commercial truck. Driving a commercial truck differs substantially from driving a car, so you need a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) to drive a truck legally. When you get a job as an entry-level driver, you receive on-the-job training from a mentor who helps with fine-tuning your driving skills and other road habits in preparation for getting a Class A CDL. You need this license before you can drive solo and transport cargo along a designated route. At this level, your responsibilities primarily revolve around learning, but your mentor may assign you other duties as well.

Some box truck driver jobs do not require a commercial driver’s license, while others do.

  • Driver

    Salary range: $30,000 - $42,000

    Drivers operate motor vehicles to transport cargo or passengers between locations. The kind of vehicle they drive vary, depending on the type of company they work for and what industry they work in.

Bus and taxi drivers pick up and drop off passengers at various locations along a specific route. Couriers collect packages from businesses and deliver them to their destination in a short timeframe. Many different industries need qualified professional drivers, including construction, health care, commerce, and the commercial trucking and passenger transportation industries.
