Are there any trucking jobs for touring country celebrities or Nascar racing teams?

Answer 1

Yes, but unless you know someone who works for one of those companies and you are a stellar truck driver, you'll never get one of them. And if you've never driven this kind of load before, you'll never get a job hauling it around.

You need three attributes to drive for one of those companies. All are equally important.

First: you must be able to drive a truck very gently. You have about a million bucks' worth of equipment in the back and all of it's fragile. Someone once told me that they road test ten drivers to find one that's able to drive this way. You've also got to be able to back an 8 foot 6 inch trailer through a 9 foot opening in an arena wall without touching the building.

Second: you must be able to get to the destination exactly on time, every time, with no exceptions. If it's going to take ten hours to set up Trace Adkins' stage, the gates open at 7 pm, and you've got the stage floor in your truck, you have to be there well before 9 am for load-in. And once you get there, expect to work really hard to help set up.

Third: you have to present the image the company wants to project. If you are pulling a country star's equipment, you really need to look like a cowboy.
