Heavy truck drivers are responsible for making sure the products they are hauling get to the final location safely. They are also responsible for ensuring that no damage occurs.
Safely operate the vehicle and be legally compliant. The rest really depends on their exact job... it'll differ between, say, a long haul line haul driver hauling freight and a sitework driver hauling construction equipment to a jobsite.

A light truck is any truck under 4000 lbs, while a heavy truck is a truck heavier than 26,001 lbs. One difference between the two drivers would be the license requirement. A driver of a heavy truck is required to have a Class A commercial license while a light truck driver only needs a regular Class C license. Another difference is that a Class A driver is subject to U.S. Department of Transportation oversight, so the driver must maintain a logbook, have a medical examination every two years, and is subject to random drug tests. In addition, a large truck driver is likely to be paid more than a person driving a light truck.
HGV = Heavy Good Vehicle. British vernacular for what other English-speaking countries call a commercial truck driver.
