What would I do?
As a Short-haul Driver, you'll usually leave your terminal early in the morning, setting out to make a series of deliveries and pick-ups that are usually within a half a day's drive or so. In some instances, short-haul drivers may be responsible for loading and unloading their trucks, so a reasonable level of physical fitness is required. In addition, customer service skills, mechanical skills and computer skills are all useful for this career.
