What is a short haul driver?

A short-haul driver is a truck driver who typically makes regional deliveries over short distances. Your duties and responsibilities are similar to that of any other trucker, and they include helping to load and unload freight, working with your dispatcher to coordinate deliveries and prepare any goods that need return transport. In addition to your delivery duties you also perform routine inspections and maintenance on your vehicle, and record your repairs, inspections, and deliveries in a daily or weekly log.
