Weekend Reefer drivers primarily handle refrigerated trucks transporting perishable goods, requiring specific certifications like reefer endorsements. Weekend Truck Drivers may handle a broader range of freight without specialized refrigeration skills. Both roles often work weekends and in similar industry settings, but the focus on refrigerated cargo distinguishes the Weekend Reefer from general weekend truck driving jobs.
