Being a professional truck driver means serious business. But, what a lot of people don’t realize is many options come with the profession. What kinds of products do you want to haul? What types of trailers? How do you want your schedule to look? Are you more interested in over-the-road (OTR) trucking, local driving, or something more in the middle, like being a regional driver? Do you want to touch freight or not? This tends to be the big question for a lot of drivers. One of the most commonly asked questions with drivers who are interested in Dot is “what is the difference between being a ‘no-touch’ driver or a ‘delivery’ driver?” So, we’re here today to break it all down for you.
A: Heck yes!
B: Not really.
A: Yes, definitely!
B: Absolutely not.
A: Yes!
B: No, thanks.
A: Heck yes!
B: Still not interested.
If you answered mostly A’s: You would be a good fit for the DTI delivery driving job! You enjoy interacting with customers, you don’t mind touching freight (especially if you get paid for it), and you’re looking to bring home a bigger paycheck.
If you answered mostly B’s: You’re a perfect candidate for our no-touch driving job! You prefer to spend more of your time behind the wheel and would rather meet other drivers at turn points than unload freight at a customer’s dock.
