Truck (18 Wheeler)

Whether you call it a truck, semi, tractor-trailer, or 18-wheeler, you have probably seen the big trucks. These things carry cargo all across the country. The economy depends on these drivers. The drivers themselves are strong, independent professionals who live on the road. This job definitely requires a Commercial Driver License (CDL).

Learning to drive the big rigs requires training. Some trucking companies offer training to candidates for driving positions with their company. You can also find programs with technical schools that have truck driving programs. The training may take six months or less.
