Job Outlook for Truck Driver
Powered by Glassdoor Economic ResearchDemand for truck drivers remains steady as consumers continue to purchase goods and truckers are needed to transport the freight. Truck drivers are typically required to hold a high school diploma and to attend a professional truck driving school. Community college courses offer commercial driving schools that can be completed in 3-6 months for a certificate. New hires typically receive several weeks of on-the-job training. Prospective truck drivers can increase the competitiveness of their application by earning endorsements for their Commercial Driver’s License that permit them to transport hazardous materials, drive tanker vehicles, and drive double-triple trailer.
