The job is very demanding, as a driver may be required to spend many days away from his home and family. To reduce the burden of being lonely, some drivers may even work in teams with a member of the family, such as his wife.
Specialized Trucking- This driving job requires a driver to handle trucks containing sensitive, oversized, or unusual items. It also involves traveling to long-distant locations. Some examples of the trucking are dry bulk carriers, auto carriers, (permitted) oversized and overweight loads, or triple and double trailers.
Construction Site Driving Job- This driving job requires the driver to handle big construction vehicles that are used on construction sites. He will be required to handle vehicles such as bulldozers, dump trucks, front loaders, backhoes/excavators and cranes. This job requires a special permit and training to handle the different materials that you will be moving from one location to another.

Many opportunities exist for truck drivers from small cities to big ones, and if a driver is doing his research properly, he will always come across different types of driving jobs that require the handling of different types of vehicles.
