Hey! I'm George J. Magoci and I will send you a FREE eBook where you can Discover 100 Best Tools to Run Trucking Business.
So let’s do some backwards planning! You have successfully research truck driving schools. You found one that meets all your needs and is best for you. Then you made it through the program and got CDL.
Next you will need to research companies. Do you want to be an over the road driver? Are you looking for local routes? Did you pursue all your HAZMAT training and get your endorsements to haul hazardous cargo and dangerous chemicals?
Ok, now comes the really hard part; there are hundreds perhaps thousands of trucking companies in every state from Maine to California. So how can you decide what is best for you? Well I guess you could answer a few questions:
- Where is their location?
- Is it long haul or local driving job?
- What is the pay?
- Are there any benefits?
- What are the trucks like (year, make, and model)?
- Are they team driving or solo?
- Do they offer any truck driver signing bonuses?
- Do the bonuses come with strings?
Now once you’ve found all the answers to your questions make sure you can live with your choice. After all you might be with them for a while, at least until you gain some driving experience. If you’re an experienced driver, you know what to look for in a company, but still, you should always read the fine print.
Conclusion
Truck driver signing bonuses are a great way to make a little extra at the end. Some might see it as a light at the end of an otherwise dark tunnel. Others will see it an extra helping of icing on an already sweet cake.
