Local Box Truck Driver Jobs in New Mexico — Now Hiring

TruckingJobsInUSA is actively hiring experienced Box Truck drivers for local positions based in New Mexico. We are a CDL driver recruiting agency placing qualified drivers with vetted, well-established carriers across the United States — and we have immediate openings for drivers domiciled in and around Albuquerque, New Mexico.

This is a full-time Box Truck driving position paying $40,000 - $56,500/year depending on experience, lane, and safety record. Home time: Home daily. We work with multiple client carriers, so once you apply our recruiters match you to the opening that best fits your home-time, pay, and equipment preferences — there is no cost to you, ever.

Pay context for New Mexico: the statewide CDL-A average is $51,800, and the strongest-paying metros are Albuquerque (about $55,800), Las Cruces (about $53,200), Santa Fe (about $52,400). New Mexico sits below the national cost-of-living average (index 91), so pay stretches further here — adjusted for living costs the equivalent is roughly $56,923. Wage trend is currently stable — New Mexico trucking wages are moderate, supported by I-40 and I-25 corridor traffic, cross-border freight from Mexico through Santa Teresa, and oil field hauling in the Permian Basin region.

This is city and metro work, so the numbers that matter are 55-65 mph in urban areas and tolls: No toll roads in the state.

Winter operating requirement: Chain advisories on I-40 and I-25 mountain passes during winter storms. NM DOT posts chain requirements at Raton Pass and Tijeras Canyon.

Fuel tax in New Mexico is $0.21 per gallon diesel + federal, which matters if you are comparing per-mile offers across state lines. Inspection climate: Moderate. NM DOT Motor Transportation Division conducts port of entry inspections. Focus on weight-distance tax compliance.

How it works: apply with the quick form below (under 60 seconds, no resume needed), one of our recruiters calls you to confirm your experience and what you're looking for, and we set up interviews with the carriers that match. You choose the offer that's right for you.

We require a minimum of 12 months of verifiable CDL-B driving experience for this role. If you have at least one year behind the wheel and a clean record, we want to talk to you.
