Light Truck Drivers

Light truck and delivery services drivers spend their days transporting packages, merchandise, and small shipments within local areas. They operate vans, cargo trucks, and box trucks that weigh under 26,000 pounds, following planned routes or GPS navigation to ensure timely deliveries to homes, businesses, and other destinations. Their responsibilities extend beyond simply driving—they load and unload cargo, verify shipment details, obtain signatures from recipients, and handle basic paperwork or electronic documentation. Many drivers physically lift boxes and packages throughout the day, sometimes weighing up to 50 or 70 pounds.
