Why is truck driving a good career choice?

Trucking is one of the most stable, high-demand industries in the country, and the demand for drivers has never been higher. Every product or service in America benefits from trucking. Truck driving is also a highly paid profession that allows you to provide a higher standard of living for your family and offers excellent benefits, including medical and dental insurance, paid vacations, and compensation incentives. Driving a truck also gives people the opportunity to travel the country and see new places while getting paid. Many people enjoy the lifestyle freedom that truck driving offers, while others love the high pay and the unmatched job security. No matter what the reason is, truck driving is an excellent choice for anyone looking to make a positive career change in his or her life.

How much can I expect to make during my first year of driving?

Each of our partner carriers is different as if pertains to what they offer as part of their compensation package. Recently, Indeed.com posted that the average salary for an entry-level driver is approximately $70,000 in the United States. However, after one year of experience driving a truck over the road, you can expect your salary to increase significantly. Even though the pay scale throughout the industry is similar from company to company, other parts of their compensation packages such as bonuses and incentives may greatly differ.

Those employed as truck drivers are paid per mile driven, thus your final earnings are dependent upon how much time you spend on the road. As mentioned, carriers also have incentive pay options which allow you to make more in wages based on how much you want to drive and what incentives you participate in or are offered. In the end, being a truck driver can be a very rewarding career both financially and professionally.
