CQ#50: How do I become a truck driver?
Quick Answer:
The current state of the trucking industry is, like many industries in this recession, a little slow. Still, many are called to freedom of the open road and the relatively stress-free life that professional truck driving offers. There are two types of jobs out there: One is referred to as P&D (pickup and delivery), which is mostly local driving. The other is called line driving, and that refers to driving a big rig from point A to point B over longer distances. It takes five to seven years to become an experienced, stable driver, and of course those with more than seven years are at the top of their game. A salaried truck driver starts at $13-$18 hourly, depending on experience and the company. Union truck drivers earn $50K-60K annually while non-union truckers earn between $30K-40K after all expenses.
