OTR Hazmat Driver Jobs in Virginia — Now Hiring

TruckingJobsInUSA is actively hiring experienced Hazmat drivers for over-the-road (OTR) positions based in Virginia. 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 Norfolk, Virginia.

This is a full-time Hazmat driving position paying $65,000 - $91,500/year depending on experience, lane, and safety record. Home time: Out 1–2 weeks. 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 Virginia: the statewide CDL-A average is $59,800, and the strongest-paying metros are Norfolk (about $64,200), Richmond (about $61,800), Roanoke (about $57,400). Virginia runs above the national cost-of-living average (index 103), so the headline number buys less than it does in a cheaper state — adjusted for living costs it works out closer to $58,058. Wage trend is currently rising — Virginia trucking pay is rising as the Port of Virginia (Norfolk) expands to become the deepest port on the East Coast, and Northern Virginia data center construction creates specialized hauling demand.

Routing matters on this account: Hazmat restricted through Hampton Roads tunnels (Monitor-Merrimac, Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, Midtown Tunnel). Designated routes in Northern Virginia and around military installations. Weigh and inspection posture in the state: Weigh stations on I-95, I-81, I-64, I-77. Virginia State Police commercial vehicle enforcement. Port of Virginia (Norfolk) generates massive container traffic.

Fuel tax in Virginia is $0.292 per gallon diesel + regional gas tax surcharges + federal, which matters if you are comparing per-mile offers across state lines. Inspection climate: High. Virginia State Police is very active on I-81 (one of the most heavily inspected corridors in the US), I-95, and I-64.

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-A 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.
