Truck Drivers: More Than Just Drivers

Do you think truck drivers spend their entire day behind the wheel, cruising along in air-conditioned comfort? 

Think again.

While driving is a significant part of their job, it's not all they do.

Truck drivers also spend time loading and unloading their cargo.

This can involve heavy lifting, manoeuvring pallets, and ensuring everything is securely fastened. 

They may also need to inspect their trucks for any mechanical issues and perform routine maintenance tasks.

When they're not driving or working with cargo, truck drivers often have paperwork to complete. 

This includes logging their hours, documenting fuel purchases, and handling other administrative tasks.

They  even do some basic vehicle maintenance, including pre and post inspection of their truck. 

It's a demanding job that requires skill, patience, and a love for the open road.
