Down The Highway With CDL Jobs

By Shirley Edwards


Society used to be made up of hunter gatherers. It used to be that people moved from place to place in groups, foraging for food and other necessities. But then human society settled down, generally on the banks of rivers. With this settling came agriculture. These early settlements would later become the seeds from which the modern cities, with its steel and chrome skyscrapers, would flower and grow. But the human beings also grew, in size and in population. Each and every one of those people had bodies, bodies that had needs. They also had minds, minds which made them want things that they did not necessarily need. To meet those wants and those needs, people used to haul good from town to town via carts and caravans, then via train, and finally, via trucks. Of course, to operate a truck is one of many CDL jobs Salt Lake Utah City.

A CDL is a commercial drivers license. It means that the person holding it is fully qualified to drive not just a regular automobile, but a larger truck as well. Because trucks are larger than cars, they require special skills in order to operate, even if the principles are the same.

There certain qualifications one must meet in order to obtain a CDL. First, one must be old enough. The age required can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but generally falls between eighteen and twenty one. Next, a person must pass some tests and maybe even have their background checked.

There is only place to get a commercial drivers license. That place is the Department of Motor Vehicles. In the DMV, a prospective driver will fill a number of forms and take a number of tests and may also be subject to a background check.

There are many jobs that come with having a CDL. A person can drive a delivery van, for example. They can also drive a bus, usually this means that they will be in the employ of the local government. But the job most associated with a CDL is long haul trucking.

Now, this type of work is strictly blue collar. This is not the kind of job that makes a person wealthy. But it is the kind of job that gives a person the means to provide food and shelter for their family. And it is good, honest work. Plus, there can be a lot of benefits like dental and healthcare.

But the people working such jobs will have to be prepared to work long hours. A long haul truck driver will especially need to be ready for such a schedule. Hauling goods and services from one city to another can take days if not weeks.

Because of its isolation, many truckers have no one to keep them company but each other. Many communicate over their radios. As such, they have developed a shorthand. Anyone looking to break into the industry should learn this shortened language.

People are always going to have needs. Everything that is alive is going to need things like food and water. Cities are not the best places to grow crops or raise livestock. As such, those goods will need to be moved.
