Local Class A drivers are professional truck drivers who hold a Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) and operate large vehicles such as tractor-trailers for local or regional routes. Unlike over-the-road (OTR) drivers, they typically deliver goods within a specific area, allowing them to return home daily.
