I recently got my CDL and I'm curious about summer seasonal job opportunities for CDL-holders. Do you know of any summer jobs I could consider, possibly something that might align with my interest in driving or logistics?

Getting your Commercial Driver's License (CDL) opens up a world of employment opportunities, particularly in industries where driving and transport are crucial. Since you're interested in summer jobs, consider exploring these seasonal opportunities:

1. Summer Camp Transportation: Many summer camps require drivers to transport children to and from various activities. You could potentially work as a bus driver or help with the transportation of food and supplies.

2. Moving Companies: Summer is the busiest season for moving companies as families often prefer moving when schools are out. With your CDL, you could work as a driver helping families relocate. Not only can this be rewarding work, but it's also an excellent chance to travel.

3. Construction and Landscaping: The construction and landscaping industry often sees an upswing in the summertime, and companies may need drivers to transport machinery and materials.

4. Courier and Delivery Services: With many people on vacation over the summer season, there could be a surge in demand for personal delivery services. Courier companies often need drivers, and your CDL license will give you an edge in this role.

5. Seasonal Tour Guide: In towns with a high influx of summer tourists, bus tour companies may be looking for additional drivers. If you're comfortable working with the public and have local knowledge, being a tour bus driver could be a fun and interesting job.

Remember, networking and following up on any leads will significantly increase the likelihood of securing a summer job. Always ensure your CV and cover letter highlight your CDL and relevant interests to stand out from the competition.
