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 reefer driver starts at a refrigerated warehouse where you check your trailer temperature and pick up the day's delivery manifest. You make multiple stops at grocery stores, restaurants, and food service distributors across the metro area, ensuring each delivery stays within the required temperature range. By the end of the day you return to the terminal and head home.

Pros

−Lower per-mile pay compared to OTR and regional
−More physical work with frequent loading and unloading

−Higher number of stops per day means more paperwork
About Refrigerated (Reefer) Trucks
Reefer trailers are temperature-controlled units used to transport perishable goods including produce, dairy, meat, and pharmaceuticals. Drivers must monitor and maintain precise temperatures throughout the trip, adding an extra layer of responsibility. Reefer loads tend to pay more than dry van freight and are available year-round thanks to the constant demand for fresh food.
This position pays $55,453+/yr. Actual pay may vary based on experience, endorsements, and miles driven.
What is the trucking job market like in Florida?
Florida's tourism, agriculture, and port activity (Jacksonville, Miami) create year-round trucking demand. The average truck driver salary in Florida ranges from $48,000 - $70,000 per year.
