These routes typically require longer drives along highways than local truck driver routes. Regional truck drivers may take several days on the road to complete their week’s assignment, staying overnight at hotels or in their well appointed trucks. Many regional truck drivers benefit from weekends at home with family and higher pay. They are typically not involved in the manual labor of loading and unloading the truck before or after reaching their destination.
