They typically operate large trucks, such as tractor-trailers or flatbeds, designed to carry standardized containers used in freight and logistics. Their duties include loading and unloading containers, securing cargo, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, and maintaining delivery schedules.

Strong time management, communication, and problem-solving skills help drivers adapt to route changes and customer needs.
