Why do CDL B jobs pay the same as a non cdl driver job ie amazon?

Supply and demand, I guess.

Depends on your location, and what CDL-B jobs are available.

I've seen people humping packages out of an Amazon sprinter, and I sure wouldn't want any part of that.

Working like UPS for 1/3 of the pay.....

 

Right, and location. If you're in a dead area, the pay will be low. If you live in BFE, then you need to move.
Move to Nevada or Arizona or South Dakota and you'll get a big pay raise and no state income taxes.

 

That’s how they lure in the suckers

 

You can't expect every single employer to pay the same. All operations are different. Also consider there are ways to pay that aren't hourly per se. What are the health insurance benefits? PTO? Vacation? OT? It's all compensation in kne form or another.

 

Because the class B license is very easy to get. It is just a step above no license.

Because of that fact, anyone can drive a straight truck which is cheap freight.

 

A Class B job is hardly a CDL job. Pretty much the lowest barrier into the trucking industry and easiest license to get other than your regular license.
