What TruckingJobNow.com Provides

Why We Thought It Was Time For A Change

When we began to look at the current state of various trucking industry websites, we quickly realized there was a common theme - all of them focused on one stage of the driver.

Are you just starting out and have questions about trucking schools? You must go to Site A to find those answers.

Have you been driving for a few years for one company and are ready to make a move? If you want tips on how to properly do that, you will need to go to Site B.

It was that frustration of not having one single resource for drivers at any stage of their career that led us to create TruckingJobNow.com. We aim to provide an FAQ section that is broken out by what stage a driver is in. We also wanted to create a database of the different companies reliant on CDL drivers so you can find other companies to apply to.

Finally, we wanted to provide information and insight on each state’s trajectory related to a trucking career so you can research what this career can hold for you in the future. The goal of our site will to provide those resources but also to do so in an updated fashion as new information or data becomes usable. Our blog will be used for current news and regulations truckers should be concerned with while the rest of our site will focus on the common research every truck driver might need.

I’m Considering Moving Companies - What Should I Know?

We dive further into detail on this topic for experienced drivers which we encourage you to read. But there are primarily a few questions to ask right from the beginning of your application process.

What is the salary and is paid training included?

Each trucking company will offer different combinations of salary and paid training. It is important to weigh both of these out for the duration you plan to stay at the company.

Are benefits included and when does a driver become eligible for them?

There are some companies that might offer a lower salary but it could be because they offer things like healthcare, a 401k, and more. As healthcare can be an expensive part of that equation, benefits should be a factor in your research.

What routes will I be driving?

If you have a family and want to be home regularly, an OTR driver position might not be right for you. If you can, try and speak with a current driver about what they were promised regarding routes and what they actually drive. We all wish we could take a company at their word but there can be bad players out there that promise one thing but only offer another regarding regular routes.

What am I comfortable hauling?

You will quickly learn depending on the company you haul for that different cargo can require different licensing or training. You can ask if there are any requirements for Hazmat hauling and whether you feel comfortable hauling that.
