Each type of job has its own set of requirements, but most will require a valid driver's license and a clean driving record. Some positions may also require additional training or certification. For example, truck drivers typically need to have a commercial driver's license (CDL), while bus drivers may need to complete a special training program approved by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.

Most transportation jobs are full-time positions, although there are some part-time and seasonal opportunities available as well. Pay varies depending on the type of job, but most transportation workers earn an hourly wage plus tips (for taxi and Uber/Lyft drivers). Salaries for truck drivers can vary widely based on experience level and company size; according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), median annual earnings for all heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers was $43,680 in May 2018 - however keep in mind that this figure includes both long-haul and short haul truckers. Train conductors typically earn an annual salary in the range $60-$70 thousand dollars, while wages for bus drivers fall somewhere in between these two extremes at around $45 thousand per year.
