What is a rig driver?

A Rig Driver operates heavy trucks or tractor-trailers to transport goods, equipment, or materials over long distances or between job sites. They are responsible for vehicle maintenance, cargo safety, and adherence to transportation regulations. Rig Drivers may work in industries like trucking, construction, or oil and gas, depending on the type of rig they operate. Strong driving skills, a commercial driver's license (CDL), and knowledge of road safety laws are essential for this role.
