A typical day as a regional driver starts at your home terminal, where you pick up a loaded trailer and head out on a familiar route. You cover two to four hundred miles within your region, making scheduled pickups and deliveries. Because the territory is defined, you learn the best routes, fuel stops, and rest areas over time. Most regional drivers are home every week or every other week, which offers a solid balance between miles and personal time.
