Local CDL Trucking Job 5 PM To 7 AM..
Topic 33793 | Page 1
Local jobs can be hard to come by for a new driver. Try applying everywhere you can and if you get turned down try to ask that company if they know anyone who is hiring.
Sometimes a new driver might have to start out driving a box truck and then move to a tractor/trailer job after they put in some time. Don’t be afraid to start out at the bottom and work your way up the ladder. Good luck, I hope you can find something.
Most shuttle and linehaul jobs have similar hours. Where in NC? My company (PFG) is hiring shuttle drivers out of Knightdale and Asheville but usually require a minimum of a years experience.
Hi Everyone..

CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
Linehaul:
Linehaul drivers will normally run loads from terminal to terminal for LTL (Less than Truckload) companies.
LTL (Less Than Truckload) carriers will have Linehaul drivers and P&D drivers. The P&D drivers will deliver loads locally from the terminal and pick up loads returning them to the terminal. Linehaul drivers will then run truckloads from terminal to terminal.
Shuttle jobs is where you go from one location to another unloading goods, like at retail stores/restaurants etc..?
Linehaul would be working in the yard, getting trucks ready for next day..?
Looking for something in the Triad/Greensboro/Winston-Salem area, but I can also make the Charlotte/Metrolina area work as well.

Shuttle drivers transport loaded/empty trailers between the depots and the warehouse. We run doubles , singles, 36s and straight trucks. Whatever they need moved.
Linehaul drivers typically run loads/empties between terminals or meet locations.

Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

Refers to pulling two trailers at the same time, otherwise known as "pups" or "pup trailers" because they're only about 28 feet long. However there are some states that allow doubles that are each 48 feet in length.
You need experience. Take an OTR job for a year then have at it as long as you keep your CDL clean.

OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

Certain fields of truck driving WILL take new to driving in a heart beat ! Find that field & be willing to move ! You're looking for work, don't limit yourself to one location or type of driving..... end of story ! Unless you want to end your story at a 9-5 local grocery delivery driving job ?
