How can I become a bobtail driver?

The primary qualifications for becoming a bobtail driver are a commercial driver's license (CDL) with hazmat certification and some experience driving a large truck or trailer. Bobtail drivers usually have a class B or class C CDL, depending on the needs of the company. This name is used to refer to several different types of trucking jobs, so the exact requirements of the position can vary from company to company. Fulfilling the responsibilities and duties of a bobtail driver requires driving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to drive a large vehicle with and without a trailer behind it.
