What truck driver pay in Jacksonville really looks like

At $55,630 a year, Jacksonville pays modestly below the national market for truck drivers — $3,010 (5%) under the U.S. median of $58,640. It is a real gap, but a beatable one: the higher end of the local range closes most of it, and a credential or a supervisory step can push a Jacksonville truck driver past the national figure without leaving the metro.

The local range is moderate — $44,960 at the 25th percentile to $65,330 at the 75th (BLS). Half of Jacksonville Truck Drivers earn inside that band, so it is a realistic target window: an offer near $65,330 is genuinely strong for the metro, while anything under $44,960 is worth pushing back on with the BLS figures in hand.

This is a substantial local market: BLS estimates roughly 13,100 truck driver jobs across the Jacksonville, FL metro area (a count of metro employment, not a survey of reported salaries). A deep employer base is good news for pay — it means more openings to compare side by side, more turnover creating vacancies, and more leverage to hold out for an employer at the top of the local range instead of settling for the first offer that lands.

Right now, Jobeezy is tracking 24 open truck driver jobs in Jacksonville against the BLS $55,630 benchmark — the live listings and the employers hiring are below, so you can see which openings actually clear the metro median before you apply.

Put it together and the picture for Jacksonville is concrete: a metro median of $55,630 with most truck drivers landing between $44,960 and $65,330. The practical move is to aim for the upper half of that band. Jobeezy fit-scores local truck driver openings, surfaces the employers posting toward $65,330, and applies for you — so your time goes to the jobs that clear the Jacksonville median, not the ones that sit under it.
