A field that keeps hiring

Less-than-truckload carriers move the pallets and parcels that keep stores, factories, and businesses supplied, running networks of hundreds of service centers that reach every state. The largest carriers each employ tens of thousands of people and hire continuously for dock, driving, and maintenance roles.

Which roles are open to those with no experience?

Dockworker, forklift operator, driver-school trainee, local pickup-and-delivery driver (once licensed), technician apprentice, dispatcher, and customer service roles regularly hire entry-level candidates, with equipment certification and safety training provided on the job.

What benefits and schedules can you expect?

Large freight carriers typically offer health, dental, and vision insurance, retirement plans with a company match, paid time off, and in-house driver schools or tuition support for a CDL. Service centers run day, evening, and overnight shifts, most dock and local roles are home daily, and carriers commonly promote dockworkers into driving, dispatch, and supervisor positions.
