Hire Truck Drivers in Maryland

The Port of Baltimore is the #1 US port for auto imports and roll-on/roll-off cargo. This creates consistent demand for car hauler and intermodal drayage drivers. The Francis Scott Key Bridge replacement will also generate construction flatbed demand.

Maryland drivers earn $54,000-$70,000 per year. Baltimore port drayage drivers and DC-area government logistics drivers earn at the upper end. The Hagerstown I-81 corridor offers abundant regional opportunities.

Port operations (Baltimore), defense (Aberdeen, Fort Meade), poultry processing (Eastern Shore), spice manufacturing (McCormick), and e-commerce distribution (Amazon) are the primary drivers.

The DC metro area has a large driver pool but extreme congestion makes positions in this area harder to fill. Drivers who accept DC-area routes typically expect congestion premiums or guaranteed hours.

Maryland has critical truck parking shortages, especially along the I-95 corridor. Companies that provide secure parking or staging areas near Baltimore and the DC metro have a significant advantage in attracting and retaining drivers.
