Thinking about a trucking career but don’t want to drive an 18-wheeler? A Class B CDL could be the perfect fit. Here are five major reasons to get certified.

1. Faster Training Timeline

Class B programs typically take less time than Class A, meaning you can complete training and hit the job market faster.

2. Diverse Job Opportunities

You’ll be eligible to drive:

• Box trucks
  
  
• Dump trucks
  
  
• Delivery vehicles
  
  
• Buses (with a Passenger or School Bus endorsement)
  
  

Local companies, municipalities, and transit systems are always hiring.

3. More Predictable Schedules

Many Class B roles offer set routes and regular hours, making them ideal for those seeking work-life balance.

4. Steady Pay and Benefits

Class B drivers earn $40,000–$60,000/year on average, with many employers offering benefits like health insurance and 401(k) plans.
