Tractor trailer drivers haul various goods and materials to and from different destinations, such as manufacturing plants or distribution centers. A tractor trailer drivers assigned deliveries or pickups can be local or cross-country and, unless the driver works within a team, all the driving is done independently. Truck drivers who drive for long distances could be away from home for a few days or even several weeks at a time. Driving a tractor trailer is usually considered a full-time job, with schedules that cover nights, weekends, and holidays.
