Take your driving a little further.
Go further with your career, but keep your weekends and evenings for your family. As a Short-haul Driver, you'll be on the road all day, but back home to tuck your kids in at night. Here's everything you need to know about becoming a Short-haul Driver:

Where would I work?
If you choose to become a Short-haul Driver, you could work for any number of local transport companies doing Full Truck Load (FTL) deliveries within a local or defined area. As a Short-haul Driver, your workday is likely to be a little longer than 10 hours.

If you work for a carrier that also does long-haul driving, it may be possible for you to be a Short-haul Driver and a Long-haul Driver for the same employer.
