Truck drivers have the important job of transporting material or products from one place to another in a safe, timely manner. Trucks carry a variety of freight. For instance, one truck driver may be transporting car parts while another is delivering goods to a grocery store. Dump truck and tow truck drivers are two examples of class B truck driving positions. Read on to learn more about the career of truck driving.

A driver with class B qualifications who is driving a dump truck is responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle as well as the successful delivery of the load. A class B truck driver must have the physical strength to operate such a weighty vehicle and the skills to maneuver it. Depending on the company that the driver works for, he or she may not travel long distances to deliver the materials. A driver must be prepared to operate the vehicle in inclement weather or on roads with congested traffic. There are other options for class B truck drivers including transitioning to driving lighter trucks. These trucks usually have regular routes and make frequent stops for deliveries. These trucks aren't as weighty as dump trucks or tow trucks. The material a truck driver hauls and how far he or she wants to travel are two factors to consider.
