Transportation Jobs in California

Transportation hiring in California: the current picture

There are 695 transportation openings in California. Employers added at least 202 new transportation postings in California in the past week — an unusually active market, with a fifth or more of all listings arriving in the last seven days.

Hiring is concentrated: Domino's Pizza alone accounts for roughly 15% of open roles, with Ryder and Allied Universal next in line. Los Angeles has the deepest pool (35 openings), followed by San Francisco (29) and San Diego (26). Of postings that specify a schedule, 80% are full-time, 14% part-time. Fully remote transportation roles are essentially absent from this market — this is primarily in-person work.

Posted pay in California skews higher than the national mix for transportation work: 13% of salaried postings here advertise $100K or more, versus 6% nationwide. The median posted salary is about $59,000 here, compared with roughly $45,000 across all states.

For context beyond current listings: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the average annual wage for transportation and material moving occupations in California at $53,000 (median $46,000) as of May 2025. Posted salaries on new openings here currently run above that benchmark. Source: BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics.
