A Day in the Life

A typical day as a regional dry van driver starts at a distribution center where your pre-loaded trailer is waiting. After your pre-trip inspection you head out on familiar routes, often covering 300 to 400 miles within a multi-state region. You may make one or two drops during the day before picking up a return load. By the weekend you are back at your home terminal, enjoying time with family before the cycle starts again on Monday.

Pros & Cons of Regional Driving

About Dry Van Trucks

Dry van trailers are fully enclosed, non-temperature-controlled boxes used to haul general freight such as consumer goods, electronics, and packaged food. They are the most common trailer type on American highways and offer the widest variety of available loads. Dry van driving is often recommended for newer CDL holders because loading and unloading is typically handled by warehouse staff.
