Long Haul Truck Driver
Long-distance heavy truck and tractor-trailer drivers spend most of their working time behind the wheel but also may have to load or unload their cargo. A driver's responsibilities and assignments change according to the type of loads transported and their vehicle's size.
A commercial driver's license (CDL) is required to drive large trucks and a regular driver's license is required to drive all other trucks. Training for the CDL is offered by many private and public vocational-technical schools.
