So You Got Your Class A CDL And Want A Job

I have seen those class B (and A) beer/soda/beverage delivery guys working. There is a reason the job pays $25 per hour and you will be earning every penny of it.

Me and my back would say thanks, but no thanks. Earning good money is great, but maintaining good health is even better.

 

Not that much here in Vegas ether, Would like to know what company his FRIEND works for, I've talked with a few companies here, and the ones I've talked with don't pay that much

 

Don't hold your breath on a $25 Ph here in Vegas, I live her too, talked with beer co., but not paying that much, told starting pay was on average $14 PH

 

Excellent post!

 

My story, I had a class B since 1983 that I used that summer driving dump trucks, and kept it up till Dec. last year when I up graded to class A. Doing so I had to get a medical waiver that I can only drive in state. I was looking to do a dedicated route, may be out 1 or 2 nights a week till the waiver killed that. I also got all endorsements & TWIC card when I upgraded to the class A. So if just starting out get everything as more doors will be open for you.

In looking for class A jobs thru school most would not take me on because they crossed state lines, I live in a small state and can be out in less than 2 hours.

Well 1 of the jobs offered was class B, local food bank, but would not hire a class A drivers because most wanted class A dollars not class B dollars to drive a class B truck go figure.

I was able to get a class B job, with class A license needing tanker, HAZMAT & TWIC doing home heating oil. I don’t think it is as bad as I hear the beer/soda people have it but still not easy pulling hose thru knee deep snow & ice to drop oil and then pull it back out. Then there is driving in snow on the back country roads and non-plowed driveways. I will not get into how many times I am in & out of the truck!
I am making more than $14 hr but way less than $25. If I am still around come summer, looking to move by summer, the boss also does pool water with trailers and I may be able to do a few loads with him.

As said each their own when it comes to job types, what it pays and who will take them.
