A regional truck driver's job is to transport goods within a specific region using a commercial vehicle. Their responsibilities include:
Driving: Driving a commercial truck to pick up and deliver materials
Maintaining the truck: Performing basic maintenance on the truck and ensuring it's in good working order before each trip
Keeping records: Maintaining driving logs and recording fuel costs and miles traveled
Following rules: Following all company, state, and federal rules and regulations
Reporting incidents: Reporting any on-road incidents to a dispatcher
Loading and unloading: Loading and unloading freight, depending on union regulations and the job
Regional truck drivers usually work shorter routes within a designated area, such as their home state and surrounding states. They may return home daily or weekly, which can offer a better work-life balance than long-haul drivers.
To become a regional truck driver, you'll typically need a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) and a clean driving record. You should also have strong communication and judgment skills, excellent hearing and vision, and be able to sit for several hours at a time.
