Truck drivers drive tractor-trailer trucks or operate other forms of heavy trucks to carry goods between terminals. Some drivers deliver a load to a nearby city, pick up another loaded trainer, and return it to their home base the same day, others make runs that take days to complete. On very long trips, they may work with a partner, taking turns driving. Some truck drivers have regular runs, and others have schedules that change from trip to trip. Heavy truck drivers drive single-body trucks that carry materials that weigh three tons or more. This type of truck includes dump, tow, flatbed, ready mix, and tank trucks. Some of the trucks are mounted with special equipment.
