Alabama Truck Driving Salary and Career Information

When you look at how Alabama’s trucking industry is growing, you know that you made the right choice when you decided to start your career in Alabama. Between 2012 and 2022, O*Net expects jobs for tractor-trailer drivers to jump by 12%. This growth rate is slightly higher than the national average (O*Net, 2012). In addition, you may be able to earn a competitive salary as an Alabama truck driver. The average salary for a tractor-trailer driver in this state is $37,600 per year (O*Net, 2014). With the bonuses that are offered by some Alabama trucking companies, you may be able to increase your income even more.

Before you can haul materials or drive a tractor-trailer, you need to earn your commercial driver’s license from the Motor Vehicle Division of the Alabama Department of Revenue. You’ll be required to supply proof of a completed physical and pass two driving exams: a written exam and a skills exam.

Since you already need to know how to drive a tractor-trailer to earn your commercial driver’s license, many new truck drivers find it helpful to attend a truck driving training program. Like most states, Alabama does not require any specific training courses. However, a good truck driving training program can prepare you for the written exam and the driving exam.

After passing your exams and paying a $45 exam fee, you can receive a commercial driver’s license that is good for four years. If you have a HAZMAT endorsement, you may be expected to renew your license or your endorsement more often.

Alabama Trucking Resources

The field of trucking is always going through legislative changes and new requirements. If you don’t stay on top of these changes, it’s easy to accidentally be out-of-compliance with new requirements. You may want to join the Alabama Trucking Association.

This organization offers many advocacy and legislative services, including a legislative news roundup, grassroots movements, and a legislative watch on important bills. You can also take advantage of member services like shipping discounts, a workers’ compensation fund, safety supplies, and safety training.

You can network with other truckers in Alabama by attending the Alabama Trucking Association’s regular events and annual convention. This may also help you find out about new job opportunities in your area.
