Local trucking jobs operate within a 100-to-200-mile radius, allowing drivers to be home every night. These positions often involve multiple stops per day, including deliveries to stores, warehouses, or construction sites. Local driving is an excellent fit for those who value work-life balance, and demand for local CDL drivers continues to grow as e-commerce expands.
A typical day as a local driver starts at the company yard, where you do a pre-trip inspection and pick up your load or delivery manifest. You make several stops within the metro area or surrounding communities, handling pickups and drop-offs at loading docks, stores, and customer sites. The work is fast-paced with plenty of backing and maneuvering, but the trade-off is being home every night with weekends off.

About Tanker Trucks
Tanker trucks transport liquid or gaseous cargo such as fuel, chemicals, milk, and water. Drivers typically need a Tanker (N) endorsement on their CDL, and many tanker loads also require a Hazmat (H) endorsement. The specialized nature of tanker hauling means drivers earn above-average pay, though the role demands extra caution due to the shifting weight of liquid cargo.
This position pays $52,000 - $62,400/yr. Actual pay may vary based on experience, endorsements, and miles driven.
What CDL class do I need for this job?
This position requires a CDL Class A license. Class A allows you to operate combination vehicles over 26,001 lbs GVWR.
What is the home time for this position?
The home time for this position is listed as home every weekend. Actual home time may vary based on route assignments and freight availability.
