Delivery driver employment: what jobs are best and pay the most?

Get the Class-A license anyway; it's good for Class-B also.

Apply with companies such as Reddaway, Sysco, Old Dominion, YRC, ABF.

Much depends on your location; put location on your profile and probably get more responses.

 

All soda/ beer companies only hire class A drivers. If you're going to school there's no reason to just get your B

 

Get the A with many endorsements, you won't regret it.
Long story very short, Applied to a local company that had Class C, B, A Equipment ( roll off dumpster ) . Tractor Trailer Roll Off sucks !


The days when my straight truck was in for service, Ran the Class A units, Was not ideal for the locations. But making money or staying home because truck is broke isn't a difficult decision. Adapt to the situations. Was paid Class A work because of A on my license no matter if i was driving Class B 4 days a week, That stupid little change in Alphabet pays.

I also noted those days running Class A for experience to get better Jobs. Work the system experience.

Get the dang Class A. Many years down the road may want to experiment with Tractor Trailers, Bam !! already legal to do it



Have fun OP whatever your decision.

 

Failed all 3? Ouch!! Maybe forget the practice tests for a little while and study the manual. All the answers are in the manual.

You could also try breaking it up. For example, just take the general knowledge portion next Wednesday. That way you're not so overwhelmed trying to study for 3 sections at once.

Also, when you're taking the test next week, if you don't know the answer skip it. You may never come back to that question. Once you hit the minimum number needed to pass the test ends right there. Good luck!! You'll get it. Keep studying

 

I've known a lot of folks over the years who were great at doing their job, but sucked at passing tests. And I've known a lot who could pass tests like crazy, but were totally unable to do the job. So don't let it get you down.

I agree with everyone who says to go for the class A. And get your doubles/triples endorsement, you tanker and hazmat endorsements as soon as you can. Even if you only start out running a route for a home delivery water service, or a propane outfit or some such, you will likely tire of it fairly quickly. The more options you have, the better off you will be.

If I was in your shoes, I'd look at some LTL companies that have local P & D jobs, as well as line haul jobs available. It's quite often a more interesting job, than a lot of others in trucking.

Good luck to you, and keep us posted on your progress! It is extremely frustrating to see folks come on here and ask some career questions, then disappear. Happens all the time, too. . .
