Truck Drivers transport all kinds of goods over roads and highways. They make both local and nationwide trips ranging from hours to weeks at a stretch and from hundreds to thousands of miles in length. They represent the final link in a delivery chain that includes oceangoing vessels, airplanes, and overland trains.
