What is a CDL Drop and Hook?

CDL Drop and Hook jobs refer to driving positions where the main duty is to transport trailers from one location to another without handling the physical loading or unloading of freight. Drivers 'drop' a full trailer at a designated location and 'hook' up to an empty or loaded trailer to continue their route. This system streamlines the workflow for truck drivers, reduces wait times, and often allows for more miles to be driven. Drop and hook jobs are popular among CDL drivers due to their efficiency and lower physical demands compared to live load and unload jobs.
