How to find driving and delivery jobs
Driving work ranges from local non-CDL delivery you can start quickly to regional CDL routes that carriers will train you for. This guide covers where each type is posted, what licenses they need and how the screening works.
Where these jobs are posted
Carriers post on their own portals and on driver-specific boards; local delivery roles appear on the general aggregators.

Common roles and what they typically pay

- Heavy and tractor-trailer truck driverPay & outlook (BLS)
- Hand laborer / package handlerPay & outlook (BLS)
How the application process usually works
- Check your license and record
Non-CDL roles need a standard license and a clean recent driving record; CDL roles need the relevant class or a willingness to train.
- Choose local or regional
Local delivery means home daily; regional CDL routes typically mean home weekly. Postings state the route type.
- Apply on the carrier's portal
Carriers verify driving records through state DMVs, so accuracy matters.
- DOT physical and drug screen
Required for commercial driving roles and normally arranged by the employer.
Pitfalls to avoid
Signing a training contract without reading it
Carrier-paid CDL training usually comes with a service commitment and repayment terms if you leave early.
Ignoring home-time terms
Regional and over-the-road routes differ hugely in time at home. The posting states it; confirm it at interview.
Driving record surprises
Recent DUIs, multiple violations or a suspension typically disqualify applicants. Know what is on your record first.
Paying a 'placement fee'
Carriers and agencies never charge drivers for placement.
Frequently asked questions
No. Package delivery, courier and driver helper roles need only a standard license. Commercial trucks over 26,001 lb require a CDL.

We don't publish pay figures. The Bureau of Labor Statistics profiles linked above give national medians; the posting states the rate for a specific route.
Recent DUIs, multiple moving violations or a suspended license usually do. A DOT physical and drug screen are required for commercial roles.
Package handler and driver helper roles can start within days; CDL roles with training take several weeks including school.
