Drivers operate Class 1 multi-trailer combinations, such as Super B and Tri-Quad units, on long-haul routes to transport and deliver fuel and commercial products. Drivers can expect to spend multiple consecutive days on the road and may be required to complete resets away from home. Hours of work follow the applicable governing hours-of-service regulations. They work primarily in the cab while driving and outside the vehicle when loading or unloading fuel, and are exposed to a wide range of road, weather and traffic conditions. Drivers typically work independently without direct supervision but must maintain regular communication with Dispatch at scheduled intervals. Chaining up may be required. Overtime and weekend work are common.
