CDL-A Truck Driver Jobs in Salt Lake City, UT

What Freight Moves Through Salt Lake City
Salt Lake has become a big distribution market for the Mountain West, with a lot of warehouse space on the west side of the valley. Railroads run intermodal in the area, and freight from California's ports often passes through on its way east. Food, retail and e-commerce make up much of what moves.
Types of Runs From the Salt Lake City Area
Local drivers find warehouse and delivery work around the valley. Regional lanes run to Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming and Colorado. OTR drivers run I-80 east toward the Midwest or I-15 south to Las Vegas and Southern California. Expect mountain driving and winter weather.
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.
