What Do Truck Drivers Do.

Heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers transport goods from one location to another.

Working as a long-haul truck driver is a lifestyle choice because these drivers can be away from home for days or weeks at a time.

Heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers usually have a high school diploma and attend a professional truck driving school. They must have a commercial driver’s license (CDL).
