Driving Jobs in Des Plaines — FAQ

How many driving jobs are available in Des Plaines, IL right now?
There are currently 50+ open driving jobs in Des Plaines, IL. They range from CDL-A truck driving and local home-daily routes to delivery, box truck, bus and non-CDL driving work. New routes are added daily.
How much do driving jobs pay in Des Plaines?
Pay in Des Plaines depends on the licence and the type of driving: delivery and non-CDL routes usually run $18–$26/hr, local CDL work $22–$32/hr, and CDL-A regional or OTR seats $1,200–$1,900 a week. Night runs and specialised freight such as flatbed or tanker pay more.
Are there driving jobs in Des Plaines with no experience?

Can I get a driving job in Des Plaines that is home every night?
Local routes in Des Plaines are home daily, including delivery, box truck, yard, dump truck and local CDL-A work. Regional runs get you home weekly, and OTR means longer stretches away for higher weekly pay.
Do I need a CDL to drive in Des Plaines?
Not for every job. Cargo van, sprinter, courier, shuttle and most 26' box truck routes need only a regular driver's licence. A CDL-B is needed for heavier straight trucks and buses, and a CDL-A for tractor-trailers.
What do employers check before hiring a driver in Des Plaines?
Your driving record for the last 3–5 years, a background check, and for commercial roles a DOT physical and drug test. Most insurers require drivers to be at least 21 for interstate work.
