Is it difficult to become a truck driver?


Becoming a truck driver is surprisingly easy, with low entry requirements. But what exactly should I be able to do? What recommendations can you give me?

I work in the field of cargo delivery. And in my work, delivery time and quality of delivery are very important. For example, there are goods that require certain transportation conditions. On the other hand, you need to take into account traffic on the roads, and the requirements that certain states and municipalities have for trucks. And to combine this, I use the Trucker Guide application, which can quickly show where is the closest truck stop https://truckerguideapp.com/info/truck-stops-near-me , or where there are service stations or gas stations, etc. It is very convenient when everything is at hand. So, if you are planning to work as a truck driver, I wholeheartedly recommend this app

In most places, you need to be at least 18 to drive intrastate (within one state) and 21 to drive interstate (across state lines).
Driver’s License: A regular driver’s license is required, but to drive a commercial truck, you’ll need a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). This involves passing a written test and a practical skills test.
Clean Driving Record: Most companies will check your driving history, and a clean record is a big plus.
Medical Exam: You’ll need to pass a DOT (Department of Transportation) physical exam to ensure you’re fit to drive for long hours.

Driving a truck can be a physically demanding job, so there are some physical demands that must be met. One of the requirements is your physical health. You will also need to complete cdl training. Most of the largest fleets (truck companies) in the United States actively recruit people without experience and offer paid training programs. Some companies have better pay packages and contract terms than others, so it makes sense to compare them to find the best deal for you.

Typically, a truck driver is a person responsible for moving a certain amount of goods from one location to another on a large, oversized semi-trailer.

There are a few pieces of information you'll likely need to better understand what it means to be a truck driver, what qualifications you need to meet, and how to become a truck driver.
