Local Delivery Driver

You're the entry point into the trucking world — driving a box truck or straight truck on local routes, home every night, and learning the ropes before the big rigs call your name. The loads are smaller, the routes are shorter, and you don't need a CDL-A yet. You'll memorize every loading dock, every one-way street, and every warehouse with the impossible-to-find entrance. It's physical, repetitive, and the perfect stepping stone to an OTR career — if you decide you actually want to live in a truck.

• 04Complete pre-trip inspections at 5 AM while your coffee is still too hot to drink
• 05Deal with loading docks that require a PhD in spatial geometry to back into
• 06Keep delivery logs and get electronic signatures from people who can't be bothered
