Tips for Entry Level Drivers

• 💡 Start building relationships with dispatchers and load planners — drivers who communicate well and are flexible with loads get the best freight assignments.
• 💡 After 6 months of clean driving, update your resume and start exploring carriers that pay significantly more than training companies. You now have leverage.
• 💡 Consider getting your hazmat endorsement — it opens higher-paying loads and sets you apart from other entry-level drivers with only basic CDL-A credentials.
• 💡 Track your actual miles driven versus what you were promised during hiring. If the gap is large, it may be time to shop for a better freight-matching carrier.
