Feel the freedom of the open road.
If you've ever dreamed of driving a truck, you've probably imagined yourself behind the wheel of an 18-wheel rig, driving along the highway. You've thought about the freedom and what it would be like to be your own boss. Become a Domestic and International Long-haul Driver, and you can turn that dream into a reality.

This is what you need to know to live out your dream:

What would I do?
Where would I work?
How much would I get paid?
How do I get to be a Domestic and International Long-haul Driver?
Where would I go from here?
How do I get started?

Where would I go from here?
How your career moves ahead depends on your goals. However, after working as a Long-haul Driver, you may move into a career within the industry as well, including:

Driver Supervisor
Driver Trainer
Dispatcher
Fleet Manager
Dock Foreman/Supervisor
Other management or support positions

Please note that most of these positions may require additional education and/or training, as well as experience.
