Driving Jobs in Ames — FAQ

How many driving jobs are available in Ames, IA right now?
There are currently 27+ open driving jobs in Ames, IA. 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 Ames?
Pay in Ames 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 Ames with no experience?
Yes. Many employers in Ames run paid CDL training or hire recent CDL school graduates, and non-CDL delivery, shuttle and rideshare work needs only a regular licence and a clean record.
Can I get a driving job in Ames that is home every night?
Local routes in Ames 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 Ames?
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 Ames?
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.
Which companies are hiring drivers immediately in Ames?
Many carriers, delivery firms and local fleets in Ames hire on a rolling basis, with start dates often within one to two weeks of applying. Browse the 27+ open routes above and apply directly.
