JOB DESCRIPTION
In this role, CDL drivers need to safely operate and maneuver large vehicles and may drive routes that keep them on the road for several days at a time. In this role, CDL drivers must be highly familiar with their routes and able to collaborate with dispatchers and other logistics professionals to adjust routes and ensure that their deliveries are completed on time.
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Transport Goods and Materials
The CDL driver’s main responsibility is delivering goods and materials regionally or throughout the country using a tractor trailer. This requires excellent driving skills to safely operate and maneuver a large vehicle. It can also require a high level of physical and mental stamina if the CDL driver is driving a long route
Plan Routes and Schedules
CDL drivers must plan their own routes and driving schedules, particularly for long-haul trips. CDL drivers utilize GPS technology to outline routes and determine the number of miles they can cover in a day.
PREPARE & RECORD DOCS
Record keeping is another major component of the CDL driver’s role. Drivers must accurately record pickups and drop-offs to ensure that their dispatcher has a record of successful deliveries and can quickly respond to delays. Additionally, CDL drivers must record their mileage, tolls, and fuel consumption to ensure that they are following federal guidelines for hours worked.
MAINTAIN VEHICLES
CDL drivers are responsible for inspecting and maintaining their vehicles, which can include regular maintenance, state inspections, and emergency repairs. CDL drivers must report any accidents or delays related to mechanical issues to dispatchers. They also keep detailed logs of vehicle maintenance activities, inspections, and repairs to ensure that their trucks remain safe and legal to drive.
COLLABORATE WITH DISPATCHERS
CDL drivers coordinate with dispatchers and other logistics personnel while completing their routes. This may involve sharing updates on delivery timelines or route conditions and logging breaks and miles driven. If a CDL driver completes a delivery and a pickup at the same location, they may need to update dispatchers to let them know that they have completed one delivery and are moving on to the next.
