CDL-A Truck Driver Jobs in Jacksonville, FL
Jacksonville sits right where I-95 meets I-10, which makes it one of the main gateways in and out of Florida. If you live in Northeast Florida or South Georgia, there's a good chance a lot of the freight you pass on the road started or ended here.
Main highways: I-95, I-10 and I-295.
What Freight Moves Through Jacksonville
JAXPORT handles a big share of Florida's container and vehicle traffic, so port drayage and container hauling are a steady part of the market. Jacksonville is also a major rail hub, with CSX headquartered in town, which means intermodal ramp work. Add in a long line of distribution centers along the I-95 and I-10 corridors feeding grocery, retail and e-commerce stores across the state.
Types of Runs From the Jacksonville Area
Local drivers here often run port and rail drayage or store deliveries around the metro. Regional runs head down I-95 to South Florida, west on I-10 toward Tallahassee and the Panhandle, or up into Georgia and the Carolinas. OTR drivers use Jacksonville as a home base because it's easy to get in and out on two major interstates.
Every carrier is different, so pay, home time and equipment depend on the company and the account. Get the details in writing before you sign on.
