Transportation drug test and physical, a valid Illinois driver’s
license for light trucks and a commercial driver’s license for heavier
loads
Starting salary $29,653 (heavy and tractor trailer), $18,851 (light/delivery services)
Pros
“You don’t have a boss hovering over you,” Boik says. “You’re
independent out there.” And the trucker’s hat will be the real deal.
Cons
“There’s long hours and you’re away from home a lot,” Boik says. “It’s
a major responsibility to drive a truck that’s 26,000 pounds empty,
because you not only can hurt someone, you can kill someone.”
