💼 Driving Jobs at the Transportation Hiring Event

EmployIndy, Marion County's workforce board, bills this as a chance to meet employers trying to fill open transportation positions right now. The listing names the lanes: commercial driver's license jobs, non-CDL jobs, box truck work, van delivery and more. You do not need a Class A license to belong in this room. If you have a clean driving record and can handle a cargo van, there is likely a conversation here for you.

It also tracks with how this metro earns its living. Four interstates meet in Indianapolis, the FedEx hub at the airport moves freight around the clock, and the warehouse corridors out toward Plainfield, Whitestown and the southside all need someone behind the wheel. Federal wage data puts about 142,400 people in transportation and material moving jobs across the Indianapolis metro.

💵 What Driving Pays in Indy

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics May 2025 survey for the Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood metro, heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers averaged $30.36 an hour, and light truck drivers, the category that covers most van and box truck delivery work, averaged $25.47. Those are averages across all experience levels, not starting offers. Ask each recruiter for their own starting rate and schedule.
