Automotive Careers

Season 2 Episode 6 | 44s

You're not sad—you just need your CDL. From long-haul trucking to hazmat hauling, the automotive world offers careers that pay well, offer job security, and put you in the driver’s seat of your future. With only about 40 hours of training, hazmat tanker drivers can earn up to $80K a year. There’s also plenty of room to grow as an automotive technician, or to go full throttle as a tow truck driver

Aired: 05/14/25
Alaska at Work is made possible in part by ConocoPhillips and Saltchuk
