The Port of Virginia (Norfolk) and Northern Virginia's proximity to DC create diverse trucking opportunities.
The average truck driver salary in Virginia ranges from $51,000 - $74,000 per year. Drivers with endorsements such as Hazmat (H) or Tanker (N) can earn significantly more. Experience level, CDL class, and type of freight all factor into compensation. For a detailed national breakdown, see our Truck Driver Salary Guide.
Virginia DMV issues CDLs. Major military bases and Port of Virginia drive freight demand.
Virginia DMV offers CDL testing at designated customer service centers and third-party locations.
