If you are ready to work in an area where the truck driver shortage is a big problem, you may be able to get a sign-on bonus or a safe driving bonus when you start working for a new company.

Because of how short truck driving programs are, you may start looking for a job before you even graduate. There are many large employers in Arkansas. National companies include C.R. England, Groendyke Transport, and Interstate Distributor Company. Local companies include Titan Transfer, AllSteel Metal, and Cardinal Logistics Driver Opportunities. Many local employers offer sign-on bonuses to new drivers.

Arkansas Trucking Training and Requirements

Arkansas has strict requirements for commercial truck drivers. First, you must earn a commercial driver’s license. A Class A license prepares you to drive tractor-trailers and Class B licenses allow you to drive smaller straight trucks. The Office of Motor Vehicle in Arkansas regulates commercial driver licenses.

Like many other states, Arkansas allows you to take your written exam and skills exam at the same time. This is beneficial, because it means that you can complete your truck driving training course all at once. After you pass the knowledge test, you may be allowed to take your skills test.

To pass the skills test, you must properly complete a pre-trip inspection, basic driving techniques, and on-the-road driving. Your truck driving program should thoroughly prepare you for this part of your exam, as most programs include well over 100 hours of driving practice. Upon receiving your commercial driver’s license, you are licensed for four years.While truck driving is a fairly independent profession, there are many reasons you should consider joining a local trucking association like the Arkansas Trucking Association. You can join local councils like the Safety Management Council, the Maintenance and Technology Council, and the 40 Under 40 Council. You can also take advantage of legal services, assistance with staying compliant, and PrePass discounts. As a member, you can have access to Arkansas trucking publications like Arkansas Trucking Report and the Guide to Arkansas Trucking.
