CDL-A Truck Driver Jobs in Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles is home to the biggest port complex in the country. Freight from overseas comes off ships at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and heads inland on I-710, I-10, I-15 and the rail lines.
Main highways: I-5, I-10, I-15, I-405 and I-710.
What Freight Moves Through Los Angeles
The San Pedro Bay ports handle a big share of U.S. container imports, which supports a huge port drayage industry. The Inland Empire to the east, around Ontario and Riverside, is one of the largest warehouse markets in the country. Railroads move containers inland from the ports to intermodal yards, and Southern California also produces a lot of food and agricultural freight.
Types of Runs From the Los Angeles Area
Local drivers often run port drayage, rail ramp work and warehouse shuttles in heavy traffic. Regional lanes run through California, Arizona and Nevada. OTR drivers haul imports east along I-10, I-15 and I-40. California has its own rules on equipment and emissions, so ask about those.
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.
