Future Outlook for Pennsylvania Truck Driving Jobs

Pennsylvania ranks fifth among states for employing the highest number of truck drivers. However, for drivers who are looking to make a change or just join the ranks of CDL drivers in the industry, the future remains promising.

Through 2030, a 6 percent growth rate for trucking jobs is anticipated. Forecasters predict over 10,000 new trucking jobs will be added in Pennsylvania annually, with over 93,600 total truckers in the workforce by the end of the period.

Trucking jobs in Pennsylvania are diverse. The state is anchored by metropolitan areas; Philadelphia in the southeast, Pittsburgh in the southwest, Erie in the northwest, and the coal mining area of Scranton-Wilkes Barre in the northeast. These cities contain major Fortune 500 companies, such as H.J. Heinz, PPG Industries, and U.S. Steel. Much of the central portion of the Commonwealth is rural and home to the Appalachian Valley which adds a required skillset for Pennsylvania drivers.

How to Get a CDL in Pennsylvania

Beginning late 2023, PennDOT Driver & Vehicle Services modernized its testing procedures for CDL licensing. To receive a CDL, applicants must pass the full CDL Skills Test, including pre-trip inspection, basic control and a road test. For additional eligibility requirements and driver resources, visit the Pennsylvania Department of Motor Vehicles.
