Positions involving the operation of smaller box trucks, often used for local deliveries or moving services, do not require a commercial driver’s license (CDL) if the vehicle’s gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is below a certain threshold. These opportunities allow individuals without extensive training or licensing to enter the transportation sector. For instance, furniture delivery within a city or courier services handling smaller packages often fall under this category.
Such positions provide an accessible entry point into the driving profession, offering valuable experience and skills development. This accessibility can be particularly beneficial for individuals seeking career changes or those starting out in the workforce. Historically, the demand for drivers in this category has remained relatively consistent due to the ongoing need for local delivery services, independent of larger trucking industry trends.
