Individuals who use trucks to pick up and deliver goods which may be anything from automobiles to canned foods. Firms of all kinds rely on trucks for the pickup and delivery of goods because no other form of transportation can deliver goods door to door. Even if goods travel in part by ship, train or airplane, trucks carry nearly all goods at some point in their journey from producer to consumer. Heavy truck and tractor-trailer drivers drive trucks or vans with a capacity of at least 26,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW). They transport goods including cars, livestock and other materials in liquid, loose or packaged form. Many routes are from city to city and cover long distances. Some companies use two drivers on very long runs; one drives while the other sleeps in a berth behind the cab. "Sleeper" runs may last for days or even weeks, usually with the truck stopping only for fuel, food, loading and unloading. Light or delivery services truck drivers drive trucks or vans with a capacity under 26,000 pounds GVW. They deliver or pick up merchandise and packages within a specific area and usually load and unload the merchandise at the customer's place of business.
