Roles include CDL Truck Driver (Class A/B), Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Load Planner, Logistics Coordinator, and Driver Recruiter. Opportunities exist at large carriers, regional fleets, and third-party logistics firms. ### What does a CDL truck driver earn? CDL Class A drivers typically earn $55,000–$85,000/year, with experienced long-haul drivers and owner-operators earning more. Dispatcher and fleet manager salaries generally range from $45,000 to $80,000. ### Do I need a CDL for all truck transportation jobs? Not all — CDL is required for driving roles (Class A for semi-trucks, Class B for smaller commercial vehicles). Office and operations roles such as dispatcher, load planner, and fleet coordinator do not require a CDL. ### Is truck transportation a stable career in 2026? Yes. Freight demand remains high and the industry faces a persistent driver shortage, creating strong job security and upward wage pressure for qualified CDL drivers and experienced operations professionals. ### Do trucking companies sponsor H1B visas? H1B sponsorship is uncommon for driving roles. However, larger carriers and logistics firms do sponsor H1B applicants for engineering, IT, and operations management positions. ## Related - [Browse all companies](https://www.foundrole.com/companies) - [Search jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/jobs)
